The Hobart Festival of Comedy is held annually in March and centres around Hobart's In The Hanging Garden precinct. Embracing the unexpected, an entire city block is transformed into a celebration of all things wild, wonky and witty—with a host of local and international comedians, bands + DJs, late-night comedy clubs and food + drinks popups.
The 2024 festival featured performances by Guy Montgomery, Ed Byrne, Reuben Kaye, Felicity Ward, Geraldine Hickey, Lizzy Hoo, Nina Oyama, Heath Franklin's Chopper, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare, Aboriginal Comedy Allstars, Schalk Bezuidenhout and a host of local showcases.
