Melbourne International Comedy Festival: Ava Vidal

Posted on 01:37 by Unknown
If you're in Melbourne, highly-rated British comedienne Ava Vidal is in town for the next couple of days, performing at Chapel Off Chapel. I like what I've seen of her so far.



I've caught a few comics at the festival so far. The undoubted highlight was Hannibal Buress, while Tom Segura and Marina Franklin were good for a few laughs. Less interesting was Matt Braunger (you fly all the way from the US and those are your best jokes, Matt, seriously?), while Moshe Kasher gave a kickass 10-minute set at one gig and a flat and disappointing 25-minute set at another gig. Weird.
