Launched in 2005 as Cracker Sydney Comedy Festival, the Sydney Comedy Festival has quickly developed into a significant if not rather frenetic comedic disturbance in Sydney’s cultural calendar. Last night’s sold out Cracker Night is the opening night gala of The Sydney Comedy Festival and featured the biggest and best Australian legends, international stars, and next big things of comedy all under one roof.

Guests last night included Craig Hill, Glenn Wool, Steve Hughes, Dave Eastgate, Tom Allen, Gina Yashere, Dead Cat Bounce, Rhys Nicholson, Daniel Sloss, Tig Notaro, Stephen K Amos, Lawrence Leung, and household name Tahir – known to most as Habib from Fat Pizza. Full gallery from the night can be viewed here.
