During the 2013 Melbourne international Comedy Festival, award winning photographer Alan Moyle gained access and documented the unseen space used as dressing rooms of many well and lesser known comedians all over the city.

Photographed in the minutes before and just after a performance, this exhibition gives you a rare look at where and how comedians prepare to make you laugh,

This exhibition premiered at the Arts Centre Melbourne and features images of Adam Hills, Josh Thomas, Sammy J, Claire Hooper, Cal Wilson, Joel Creasey and more.
