Kicking off on March 29, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, which is considered one of the top three comedy festivals in the world together with Edinburgh and Montreal, will feature about 2000 performances at 75 venues in and around Melbourne, and expects to attract an audience of about 400,000. With only 20 sleeps to go until opening night, the excitement had built to such an extent that Lano had accidentally put on Woodley's pants and vice versa, leaving them both feeling a little pinched and uncomfortable. This year's festival program features a range of Australian talent alongside international stars such as Rich Hall and Rick Miller, from the United States, and British performers Jenny Eclair, Scott Capuro and Chris Addison. The festival program was officially unveiled with much fanfare by The Three Canadians, who brought them in beneath smoking silver service trays to the cheers of the festival crowd. The Age is a sponsor of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
