Celebrate two decades of laughter with the Sydney Comedy Festival's "Best of the Fest" showcase! This one-hour extravaganza at the Factory Theatre Festival Hub brings together a surprise lineup of top local and international comedians, ensuring a unique and side-splitting experience each night. The Factory Theatre in Marrickville is still one of the most important locations for the festival. It has four stages that hold a ton of concerts nightly, and the beer garden in the center is perfect for relaxing before and after all those events. One night you could be catching viral sensations like Nina Oyama or Sam Taunton, the next it’s cult favorites like Daniel Muggleton or Lizzy Hoo. The only guarantee? It’s going to be hilarious.
