Melbourne Comedy's Rising Stars Set for The Butterfly Club, 30 May

In March, local comedian Michael Shafar (Footy Couch, 3 Little Gigs, Round Squares) put together a comedy bill that went absolutely ballistic, selling out well before the comics took to the stage. He is proud to be returning with a new line-up of Melbourne's finest comedians on the 30th of May.

The secret to the show's success lies in its curation. Melbourne Comedy's Rising Stars is dedicated to introducing comedians who are on their way up. These are comics who have performed all over the country and sold out shows at the 2015 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

With Shafar at the helm, the line-up will feature performances from Jono Mastrippolito, Danielle Walker, Jess Perkins, Jay Morrissey, Jemry Robin, David Rose, Sam Taunton and Will Brain.

These young comics have written for Cracked.com, appeared on Channel 31's Live on Bowen and About Tonight, presented for Channel [V], performed on ABC's Comedy Up Late and been RAW Comedy national finalists. For one night only, the future of Melbourne comedy will all be performing on one stage. Bookings are highly recommended.
