Australian Lockdown Comedy Festival heads to Stan soon

The Australian Lockdown Comedy Festival is in planning stages and will head to Stan soon, the streaming service today confirmed.

“Fans will see some of their favourite comedians perform material from their planned 2020 shows,” a press release dates. “And like most Aussies right now, they will speak to us from their kitchens, lounges, bedrooms and perhaps even their bathrooms – because let’s face it, there’s nothing funnier than toilet humour.

“Filming will take into consideration all current health measures – including comedians setting up and operating their own cameras, with a director on hand via video conferencing.”

Comedians confirmed for the festival include Wil Anderson, Cal Wilson, Nazeem Hussain, Dave Hughes, Zoe Coombs Marr, Tommy Little, Geraldine Hickey, Dilruk Jayasinha, Steph Tisdell, Aaron Chen, Sam Campbell, Michelle Brasier and Nath Valvo (pictured above), with more to be announced soon.

The Australian Lockdown Comedy Festival doesn’t have a release date as yet; we’ll keep you informed as we learn more.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
