The Hobart Festival of Comedy returns in a five-night event in 2025, running from 5-9 March in Nipaluna/Hobart. After the success of the first Festival held earlier this year, its return is no surprise.

Festival curator, Phoebe Meredith says, “After the runaway success of our first festival, it was a no-brainer to come back for 2025. We set the bar high for ourselves and itā€™s been great fun curating this yearā€™s festival to include some amazing international and local comedians ā€“ from Scotsman Danny Bhoy to astute Aussie satirist Sammy J and rising star Alex Ward to New Zealandā€™s Ray O’Leary.”
