Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Melbourne is again hosting it’s annual massive Comedy Festival.

It will be a case of ‘stand-up’ and be counted when nearly 400 national and international acts and events descend on Melbourne for the 24th Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With a 17 percent increase in the number of shows from last year, Australia’s largest cultural event – and one of the three biggest comedy festivals in the world – now boasts more laughs than ever.

The 24th Festival will be tickling Melbourne’s funnybone for four weeks from 24 March, bringing back the whimsy, pulling some legs, and just generally putting funny business back in some of our favourite festival venues: Melbourne Town Hall, Trades Hall, The Forum, City Square, Capitol Theatre, along with a host of new fabulous venues across the CBD and suburbs – from op shops to libraries. And with an extra $40,000 from the City of Melbourne to support late night programming, acts including Silent Disco, the world-wide festival phenomenon requiring headphones and dancing shoes, and American comedy duo Janeane Garofolo and Greg Behrendt will be keeping a smile on audiences’ dials til the early hours.

Sales thus far have exceeded expectation, with a number of performances selling out before the official program is released on 18 February. With Festival shows featuring everything from burlesque to break-ups, puppetry to poetry, and robots to rock comedy, all served with a healthy side of sex, religion and politics, the 24th Melbourne International Comedy Festival has something on the menu for everyone.

Who knows what talent it will uncover!?

News Feed: - Comedy “Four Lions Is Scary Funny” Sundance 2010

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by comedy_admin3

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

One of the big surprises out of last year’s Sundance Film Festival was “In The Loop,” a riotous take on international politics that went on to modest success at the box office. This year, the upstart political comedy slot is occupied by “Four Lions,” directed and co-written by Chris Morris, a former collaborator with “In the Loop” director Armando Iannucci and creator of the popular British television parody program “Brass Eye.”

Because of its controversial storyline, “Four Lions” has become something of a hot potato among buyers at Sundance — no one seems to want to take on the presumed trouble likely to follow in its wake.

“Four Lions” concerns a cell of four bumbling, would-be Islamic jihadists in a sleepy English suburb. Like a workplace comedy or riff on dysfunctional families, they bicker and complain, argue and reconcile, all the while plotting a bomb attack. While what they are planning is deadly serious, the haphazard way they go about it is seriously funny.

Before a screening this morning it was announced that Morris was already on his way back to England and didn’t suggest anyone else would be available from the film to take questions. As the film’s credits began, the audience mostly filed for the exits assuming there would be no Q&A. Once the theater was largely emptied out, though, it was announced that co-writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain were in attendance and would be taking questions.

They answered the first question by deferring to the absent Morris, saying it was very much his film, and that while the structure of the film was tightly scripted, the film itself was a mix of scripted lines and improvisations from the actors.

While noting that it was the idea of attacking taboos that inspired Morris and that they felt a certain freedom in making a film that flirted with things some people might feel they simply shouldn’t do, Bain added, “My hope is that it’s foremost a comedy.”

“Obviously, I don’t want to be killed,” responded Armstrong to a question as to whether they feared reprisals for the film could mirror the uprisings against a Dutch cartoonist who drew panels alleged to be anti-Islam. “Although I figure the director would be first.”

News Feed: - Another Award Show Seeks British Comedian To Host.

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 by comedy_admin3

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Are irreverent British comedians the new hosts with the most? Seems so. After Ricky Gervais took the posh out of the Golden Globes, Eddie Izzard — known his cross-dressing and, increasingly, for his mainstream actor gigs — will do the same for the Spirit Awards, the producers announced on Monday.

“Izzard’s tangential, absurd, bizarre and surreal comic narratives are lauded for their creativity and wit, which suits the irreverent, laid-back style of the Spirit Awards,” read the statement from Film Independent, the nonprofit arts organization that sponsors the show. The Spirit Awards, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, will be broadcast live on IFC on March 5, two days before the Oscars, which should give everyone plenty of time to sober up and/or lick their wounds.
