World's Funniest Island

It consisted of approximately 200 shows and involving over 250 performers in 12 indoor venues, and three outdoor stages, playing to 12,000 punters.

The island is an important location for The Biennale of Sydney, the city's major contemporary art event.

The second World's Funniest Island event, slated for 16–17 October 2010, was cancelled due to a sponsorship shortfall.

A single ticket offers unlimited access to the various shows and include transport to and from the island – via a ferry service operating all day from Darling Harbour, in Sydney’s CBD.

The venues on the island vary in size and shape, catering to a wide variety of comedy shows and audiences.

The World’s Funniest Island presents a wide range of comedy genres, including stand-up, sketch shows, circus, musical comedy, comic burlesque, movie parodies, comic literary readings, plays, and roving entertainment.
