What's the best joke you've heard recently? I don't know about 'best joke', but when your friends all get drunk and start “quoting” the goats-screaming-like-humans video at each other it quickly devolves into a room full of people cycling through screeching in each other's faces and then breaking into hysterical laughter. Also, you can't go past Shane Matheson's haunting rendition of the song Mango Hands.

And the worst joke? Stonnington Council in Melbourne calling their pool the Harold Holt Swimming Centre.

What's a dream you've had recently? A friend of mine had his arm cut off in a particularly rough game of laser tag. He stitched it back on himself and nonchalantly carried about his business; he didn't want to go to the hospital on account of the fact he was getting married later that day.

What are you looking forward to the most at MICF? Four things:
1. What does any Sydneysider jealously look forward to most about Melbourne: trams.
2. Also, you have a nice zoo that isn't on a 30-degree incline.
3. Also, seeing as many other comics' shows as humanly possible. My hope is to be so drained of actual laughter as to be capable only of silently internalising any positive responses to comedy.
4. Taking nice dip at the Harold Holt Swimming Centre. What's that Victoria Tourism ad? “It's Easy to Lose Yourself in Melbourne”?

WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday 9 to Sunday 21 April, MICF, Trades Hall, Evatt Room
