For almost three decades, the festival has been touring across Australia, delivering comedy to regional audiences.
Comedian Sez, who will perform on the Victorian leg of the Roadshow, is excited about visiting Echuca for the first time.
“Echuca, I’ve never been there, so I’m keen to see what the vibe is,” she said.
“I’m keen to go on a paddle steamer for an hour.”
With only 15 to 20 minutes on stage, as there are five or six comedians performing on the night, Sez plans an energetic performance.
“I just try and run on stage and just get everyone amped up, I do a lot of audience interaction, call and responds, getting the audience to sing a tiny bit, in a fun and filled way,” she said.
“I get the audience to scream as well.”
Sez noted differences between city and regional audiences.
“I think doing shows in the city, people are like, ‘Oh, that is very vulgar, and I really respect you, you are so brave to talk about that,” she said.
“But when doing Roadshow, people are more like, it's not a big deal, she is saying her truth.”
Her Melbourne International Comedy Festival show is called Sorry, what?
“It’s the kind of vibe of the show, it’s just me not understanding everything, and being like, ‘What the hell is going on?’” she said.
“In Echuca, there will definitely be some songs from that show, because that show will be good.”
