The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is on it's way (April 1 - 26 to be exact).

Headlining the event is US rebel Janeane Garofalo, star of Reality Bites and Emmy Award Winner for The Larry Sanders Show.

This acid tongued cynic covers the usual terrain of world politics, body image and popular culture, but we can't help but love her anyway.

Head down for the Tightarse Tuesday session for $35. Book here.
