Brisbane’s new wave of comedy talent is urged to throw their hat in the ring as Brisbane Powerhouse prepares for the 2018 Brisbane Comedy Festival.
Brisbane Powerhouse is calling on expressions of interest from artists of all backgrounds to perform at next year’s festival in February.
Artistic Director of Brisbane Powerhouse Kris Stewart says the Brisbane Comedy Festival was a chance to shine the light on new acts and place them beside leading national and international stars.
“The 2018 Brisbane Comedy Festival promises to be our best yet, with a great line-up of Australia’s and, in fact, the world’s comedy favourites,” Kris says. “While we all have our favourites, we’re also searching for the best in emerging comedy talent, in particular local artists."
“Whether you’re from Brisbane, Bundaberg,or Far North Queensland, we want you! We’re taking submissions from stand-up comedians, cabaret performers, children’s entertainers, anything and everything!"
Expressions of interest close 17 September. Brisbane Comedy Festival runs from 27 February-25 March 2018.
