The 20th Melbourne International Comedy Festival is happening right now. 2006 is really a BIG year for Melbourne and Victoria, Australia. After the Commonwealth Games with serious sports and arts events, the Comedy Festival shifts the international sportlight to another of Australian's favourite cultural pastimes - having a good laugh. I read somewhere that alongside Edinburgh and Montreal, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is one of the three largest comedy festivals in the world.
As a person who enjoys comedy and a good laugh, I eagerly anticipate and find the Comedy Festival to be an attractive event. Every year during this time (autumn in Melbourne), the world's best comics join Australia's great talents for the Comedy Festival. In my neighbourhood like the Melbourne Town Hall and the Federation Square, there are events like Umbrella Revolution and the family-friendly Big Laugh Out, free every week, which I sure will find some time to join in.
On Tuesday night, my friends and I went to see Australia's favourite Comedy Duo Live Lano & Wooeley's Goodbye show at Her Majesty's Theatre. The Festival's favourite comedy duo are taking their final bow after an incredible twenty years of working together. I remember seeing their performances two years ago outside the Arts Centre court, and 'fell in love' with their hilarious yet somewhat weird sense of humour (must admit I didn't get all the jokes at the time and needed my Aussie friends to explain at times hehe). This time, I found it a little bit sad that this was going to be their final performance together in the Comedy Festival, but my friends and I did have a fantastic time laughing away. They are truly funny and intelligent, and it is definitely a pity for Australia to lose such a great comedy duo.
People often say 'laughter is the best medicine', and I think it's so true :D I am feeling so much better after the show haha.

It would be AWESOME to be there and experience all the hilarity. I LOVE to laugh. When my wife and I went to New York about a year and a half ago, we never saw any theater shows but went to "The Improv" comedy club twice. I wrote some jokes for an open mic session (which would have been our 3rd time there) but we ended up getting tickets to David Letterman. My wife was relieved. I think she was concerned about how I'd look if nobody laughed at anything I said. Oh well, maybe next time.
Yeah!
It's so refreshing and reaffirming to be able to laugh and smile.
We have the joy of our Lord :)
A good laugh lifts up the spirit:-)
I pray you are doing allright.
Luv ya, girlie.
God's Grace.
