A comic walks into a festival...

Peter Berner is one of the stars of comedy performing at the Big Joke Comedy Festival coming soon to Bangalow.

This year, The Big Joke Comedy Festival at the Bangalow A&I Hall (March 18-21) is being presented as a series of shows like banquets in a good restaurant. Each show features a number of performers.

As well as the main shows, which feature such comic luminaries as Peter Berner (pictured), Jackie Loeb, Tom Gleeson, Jeff Green and others, there’s the Village Idiot Stand Up Competition – four heats over the four-day festival, with a grand final on Sunday, March 21.

The first heat kicks off at the hall on Friday night (March 19) at 6pm. Entry is free.
