The 32nd Melbourne International Comedy Festival begins next week, and it has been revealed that Anne Edmonds will be taking on MC duties as host of the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow.

The festival’s night of nights, Edmonds will play ringmaster of the showcase – a stellar line up of the best comedians from across the globe, festival legends, and the brightest new stars on the comedy circuit.

A perennial favourite of the festival, Edmonds has performed at 2017 and 2016 galas – both years where she was nominated for Best Show of the festival.

The Opening Night has sold out – but you can catch Anne and the whole show on Sunday 1 April on ABC, ABC iview and simulcast on ABC COMEDY.
