The State Library Victoria and Melbourne International Comedy Festival present This is Why I’m Single a.k.a. my first Comedy Festival show! Enjoy a hilarious evening filled with tales of dates that didn’t go quite according to plan. The night is hosted by me and features some of the country’s funniest comedians including Diana Nguyen, Peter Josip and Urvi Majumdar. And if you’re feeling brave, you can write down your own misguided connections to be read out for all to hear. It’s going to be a fun night and I’ll be sure to fill you in on some of Bad Dates of Melbourne blockbusters as well. It’s on Thursday 26 March. Get tickets here!
