Nova 100 and ahm Health Insurance will present the Hits & Giggles comedy gala event, featuring some of Australia’s freshest new comic talent on Saturday 8 April at The Forum Theatre from 5pm. Guests can only win tickets to this exclusive event by heading to novafm.com.au or listening to Nova 100.

Furthermore, Nova will feature ticket giveaways to shows on the circuit and will cover the festival online with reviews, highlights and videos, pop-up comedy and interviews.

Peter Colosimo, NOVA Entertainment’s general manager for Melbourne, said: “We love this time of year and are delighted to again partner with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. This partnership is one of our most rewarding and longstanding relationships and gives us the opportunity to provide listeners and clients access to some of the most talented, established and up-and-coming comedians around the country.”
