Description

What makes a comedy sketch stick? Maitland Handley and Connor McDuff of CrackerMilk bring two distinctive approaches to short form comedy to the AACTA Festival. Join them as they unpack the ideas, characters and observations that turn a simple premise into a joke that lands. With examples from their own work, they explore the fine line between funny and forgettable, and why some characters and catchphrases take on a life of their own.

As audiences increasingly discover comedy through their phones, what makes us stop scrolling and start laughing? A lively conversation about the instincts, imagination and craft behind Australia’s new comedy landscape.
