The Late Nite PowerPoint Comedy Showcase

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

This cult classic returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival after sell-out seasons at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the UK’s iconic Latitude Festival and Adelaide Fringe.

With six comedians performing six different PowerPoints, it’s a line-up show like no other. Hosted by the agents of Microsoft Office chaos, Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh, this wild showcase is easy to follow and begging for technical difficulties.

A picture says a thousand words, and with more slides than Wet’n’Wild, The Late Nite PowerPoint Comedy Showcase offers more words per dollar than any other show in the festival.

Grab your family, friends and anyone else who has endured boring work presentations or tedious uni slides as we heal together.

Winner Best of Variety Weekly Award 2025 Adelaide Fringe.

An essential part of any festival bucket list.
