This takes place tonight at the Palais Theatre in St. Kilda for Oxfam Australia.

Later TEN will have the Opening Night gala.

The annual Melbourne International Comedy Festival is upon us again and kick-starting this renowned assembly of the world’s finest comedians is the 2014 Comedy Gala.

Hosted by Offspring’s Eddie Perfect and filmed at St Kilda’s historic Palais Theatre, viewers will have a taste of this year’s festival line-up from both Australia and abroad.

With proceeds from ticket sales going to Oxfam Australia, those watching at home will also have the opportunity to donate in order for those less fortunate to build better lives.

Previous performers have included Jimeoin, Wil Anderson, Jason Byrne and Jeff Green. Who will provide the belly laughs this time around?

8:30 pm Saturday March 22 on TEN.

    They may not all make the broadcast though obviously. Although with a 2 hour 14 running time who knows? Often the gala is broadcast mid or late festival. Good to see it aired before the festival starts although how many people will see it?
