For two weeks in November, Indian audiences get to see a selection of the funniest shows from the biggest and longest running comedy festival in Australia. Be prepared to laugh off your perch with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Delhi. Last year the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow tickled crowds in Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as in 60 centres across Australia. Back home in Melbourne, the festival has opened every autumn since 1987 and has audiences laughing for a month.
