Get ready for some laugh riots as Australia's largest comedy festival is coming to India next month as part of a mega event that will take it to five cities, including Delhi.
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow is returning to India as part of Australia Fest, a six-month long celebration of Australian culture and creativity that kicked off recently.
The comedy festival will be heading for a five-city tour this November, hitting Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata and Delhi before a season at the Bengaluru Comedy Festival, the Australian High Commission said Monday.
Australia's High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu said, "Audiences in Australia have been enjoying the fun and frivolity of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for a long time now."
Aaron Chen, one of the comedians, said, "I'm incredibly excited to perform in India and also just to be in India for the first time. I don't know what to expect from this beautiful country except open arms and warm naans (I hope to have at least one)."
