Melbourne International Comedy Festival - Best Of The Gala Collection: Limited Edition (3 Disc Box Set)

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is set to make 6 million Australians very happy upon its release: that's how many people have watched the top rating Comedy Festival Gala television broadcast between 2003 and 2006 - and about how many phone calls the Comedy Festival gets every year asking can they buy the broadcast on tape!

Well, for the first time in 20 years, yes you can!

The DVD release will feature your favourite local and overseas Gala performers in a selection of highlights from 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, including: Adam Hills, Akmal Saleh, Arj Barker, Charlie Pickering, Chris Addison, Corinne Grant, Damian Callinan, Dave O'Neil, Dylan Moran, Denise Scott, Eddie Perfect, Fiona O'Loughlin, Jason Byrne, Jeff Green, Jimeoin, The Kransky Sisters, Lano & Woodley, Magda Szubanski, Maria Bamford, Mike Wilmot, Noel Fielding, GUD (Paul McDermott, Cameron Bruce, & Mick Moriarty), Rich Hall, Stephen K. Amos, Tripod, the Umbilical Brothers, & Wil Anderson, plus many more!

The 3 disc set also contains, as an added bonus, a selection of the "Oxfam Plugs" that are recorded backstage by the artists each year; frequently hilarious grabs of comics spruiking for donations to the international charity the Gala has suypported since 1995. Over the last 11 years, the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Oxfam Australia, and a percentage of the profits of the DVD will be further donated to this worthy cause.
