Billed as Best Of Edinburgh Fest featuring world class comedy, this show fails to live up to its own expectations. Kai Humphries begins the show with his raw humour of drunken anecdotes and retold family stories. English comedian Carl Donnelly follows, investing most of his set in telling dick jokes under the guise of marriage equality, while Canadian Tom Stade laments turning 40 with a style that shifts between self-congratulatory and aggressive. If the show serves a greater purpose in the scheme of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, it's to show that our own homegrown comedy talent doesn't just match it with the best, it trumps it.
