  • Presented by: Sweeney Preston & Ethan Cavanagh

This cult classic returns home to Melbourne after a UK tour spanning the Edinburgh Fringe and England's iconic Latitude Festival.

With six comedians performing six different presentations, The Late Nite PowerPoint Comedy Showcase is a line-up show like no other.

Hosted by the agents of Microsoft Office chaos, Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh, this wild late-night showcase features a rotating line-up of comedians putting the ‘show’ back into show-and-tell!

A picture says a thousand words, and with more slides than Wet’n’Wild, The Late Nite PowerPoint Comedy Showcase offers more words per dollar than any other show in the Festival.

It’s easy to follow along with after a few drinks and it’s begging for technical difficulties, so grab your family, friends and anyone else who has endured boring work presentations or tedious uni slides as we all heal together.

Featuring:

Oct 9 - Julian O'Shea, Hot Department, Tash York, Nick Robertson & Sean Diao.

Oct 10 - Oliver Coleman, Mish Wittrup, Laurence Driscoll, Annie and Lena & Doug Bayne.

Oct 11 - Tina Del Twist. Alex Hines, Joshua Ladgrove, Bridget Hassed & Christina Schmidt.

Oct 12 - Ray O'Leary, Takashi Wakasugi, Anna Piper Scott, Han Arbuthnott & Alexandra Hopes.

Oct 13 - Noah Szto, Hannah Camilleri, Scout Boxall, Maddy Weeks & Chris Nguyen.
