All the laughs are on Nova with the return of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023

Nova 100 is proud to support the station’s long-term partnership with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, one of the most respected festivals around the world, which runs from 29 March to 23 April.

Returning for a second consecutive year, Nova 100 has partnered with Live Nation to put on a special night of comedy - Nova’s One Night Stand to be held on Tuesday 28 March. Hosted by Nazeem Hussain, Urzila Carlson, Guy Montgomery, Guy Williams, Ray O’Leary, Melanie Bracewell, Chris Parker, Jason Leong and Daniel Fernandes will perform exclusively for listeners at the Forum Melbourne on Flinders Street.

Nova 100’s new breakfast show Ben, Liam & Belle will kick off the comedy festival with an outside broadcast from Degraves Espresso Melbourne, located in the city’s iconic Degraves Street, on Wednesday 29 March from 6am to 9am. The team will be interviewing some of their favourite comedians from this year’s comedy festival throughout the morning with listeners invited to drop in for a coffee.

Ben, Liam & Belle are also on the hunt for Melbourne’s weirdest laugh and plan to host a very different comedy show, on Thursday 20 April, as the comedy festival draws to a close. Tune into the Nova 100 breakfast show throughout April for further details on this unique event and how to score an invite.

Nova’s Ben, Liam & Belle will chat to a range of established and up and coming comedians in the lead up and throughout the festival and Nova 100 will feature ticket giveaways to the hottest and most exciting shows on the circuit.
