Joanne Brookfield in Princess Pissy Pants The Greedy Cheese Eating Bitch

Melbourne International Comedy Festival for ten shows only: Wed Apr 26 - Sat May 6

Back by popular demand, Princess Pissy Pants The Greedy Cheese Eating Bitch and Other Naughty Dog Tales returns!

After sold out shows at last year's Melbourne Comedy Festival, sold out shows at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and selling out at the recent Adelaide Fringe Festival - where The Advertiser declared the show a "howling success" and that Joanne "has the audience in fits of laughter" - Princess Pissy Pants is back where it all began, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, for two weeks only.

Although full of stories about the universal realities of dog ownership - and dog owners will be "contstantly laughing and nodding their heads in recognition of the stories she tells" (The Advertiser) - the show is about more than just 'have you ever noticed how dogs are different to cats?' It's about living life with courage, honour, integrity, loyalty, compassion and love. Oh yeah, and how much Joanne despises carrying pooh around in a bag. "A vigorously feel good show," said The Age, Joanne "oozes warmth but is never mawkish". The Advertiser agreed, saying "she has a fantastic manner on stage and engages the audience with a laid-back approach to the show".

In Adelaide, the show was given five cranes out of five on the TalkFringe site, with one punter saying "Even if you've never had a dog, you will love this show!! Joanne's amazing storytelling skills had us laughing, commiserating, indignant and teary right along with her. Definitely one of the best I've seen this festival".

So dont miss your chance to see what all the fuss is about. There's only ten shows, from Wed 26 April to Sat 6 May, so book now before it sells out again.

Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster outlets, phone 1300 66 00 13 or www.comedyfestival.com.au
