Want to come to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2026?! Here is how you can all thanks to The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Rydges Melbourne and Bossley Bar and Restaurant.
Billy Brownless’ infamous “Bills Joke” has somehow become one of the biggest segments on radio, and honestly, we’re still not sure how. To celebrate 40 years of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Billy is once again teaming up with his comedy mates to give one lucky listener the chance to score a Melbourne getaway packed with laughs.
Billy needs YOUR best joke. Register below and send it in. If Billy picks your joke, you’ll have to jump on air and deliver it live, no pressure! Across the week Billy will choose his favourite joker and send them on a weekend away or city staycation to experience the 40th anniversary of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, see some of the biggest names in comedy, enjoy a stay at Rydges Melbourne, 3 nights of back to back comedy and $500 food and drinks credit. It’s a massive prize… and unlike Billy’s jokes, this one actually delivers.
