2008 Comedy Festival Wrap-Up
So, I saw 45 shows at the festival this year, laughed a lot, drank too much, caught up with friends, developed a new comedy crush, and generally had a fantastic time - albeit one it will probably take me a few days to recover from! Last night witnessed the awards presentation at the festival club at the HiFi Bar. The winners are: The Barry Award for Outstanding Show: a tie, for the first time ever in the festival's 22 year history, between Nina Conti and Kristen Schaal (who is a horse, apparently). The Age Critics Award: Sammy J The Golden Gibbo Award for Artistic Excellence: The Suitcase Royale The Melbourne Airport Best Newcomer Award: Fear of a Brown Planet That's all, folks!
