“It is an exciting time for comedy in this city with some of the truly great names of the world comedy circuit setting up shop for three weeks from 19 April to 9 May. We’ll kick the whole thing off in style with our Gala Opening at Sydney Comedy Festival Cracker Night on 20 April and along with what people have come to expect of the Festival, we are expanding our program to include more venues, more shows, free public events and most significantly, a dedicated and quite hilarious children’s program.”
Jorge Menidis, Sydney Comedy Festival Director

The Festival’s Children’s program will play out during the day at a number of Festival venues and will present performances, workshops, storytelling and much more in a diverse program guaranteed to make kids and their parents laugh. The Kids Gigs Program will burst with all the aplomb of a water bomb across the festival precinct in 2010. Another new event is the inaugural Great Jugglers Jamboree, a free event inviting jugglers of all shapes and sizes, skill and devices to come together in workshops, performances and a winner take all competition for the best juggler in the land!

Finally, the Festival is set to unleash its new look and is in search of the perfect name for their new mascot. Described as a bright, happy and at times mischievous little character with a smile as wide as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and hair as free flowing as the sails on the Sydney Opera House.
