Earlier this month, Reunion Park landed on the Burnley Circus Site. This outdoor, pop-up space celebrates Melbourne’s thriving culture scene, and has delivered some amazing live music shows. Now, they’ve released a full comedy and performing arts program, so you can get your laughs on during the comedy festival season. Expect cabaret, circus, burlesque and more, from Thursday March 31 to Sunday April 10.
