Cairns, it's time stoke up your sense of humour and dive down the back of the couch for those handfuls of loose change. Come and experience a world of comedy, madness and mayhem as the hottest acts from Australia and around the world hit the streets.

2 extra days, 40+ shows, 3 new venues - it just gets bigger and better every year. Special events in the program this year include Circus Under the Stars on the Esplanade foreshore and the Crack Up Comedy and cabaret club at the Cape York Hotel.

The festival begins with the opening night spectacular - The One Night Stand at Rydges Tradewinds. Featuring one-off performances by local and touring artists not to be seen again at festival so this really is the night not to miss! (even if it is a one-night-stand, we will still make you feel special).

It is all for fun, and fun for all
