Class Clowns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Class Clowns is an annual search for Australia's funniest high school student. This competition runs as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and is one of the major events of the festival.
Heats, semi finals and then finals are run in each Australian state and territory, with the winners of the state finals competing in the Grand Final in Melbourne. The Grand Final is held in the Melbourne Town Hall in front of an average of 1500 people. Traditionally comedian Raymond J Bartholemuez has hosted the grand final and special guest comedians perform a headline set (in previous years comedians such as Peter Helliar, Tripod, Ross Noble, and Judith Lucy have performed).
Notable comedians who have performed as entrants in Class Clowns include Danny McGinlay, Mia Timpano, Michael Connell, Tully, Paul Jones and Imaan Hadchiti.
