Melbourne Comedy Festival Allstars Supershow
Series 2025, Ep 2 will now air on Thursday 10 April 9:00 PM

There will still be a part two? I don’t think there’s enough footage from last Wednesday (before the cancellation) that can fill an hour let alone two hours.

[TV.Cynic]

Episode 2 has a synopsis

Final Strap yourself in for The Allstars Supershow. Michael Hing hosts a two-hour special bringing you the best of the best in comedy and some of the freshest new comics to keep you on your toes and the belly laughs flowing.

[Jeffmister]

@JohnsonTV

There will still be a part two? I don’t think there’s enough footage from last Wednesday (before the cancellation) that can fill an hour let alone two hours.

Guessing they’ll show the segments that happened before the show was cancelled and fill the rest of the show with either ‘best ofs’ from past Allstar Supershows or specially recorded bits for the show.

[JohnsonTV]

The Allstars Supershow was rescheduled to last night (March 31) according to the festival’s website. That will form the basis of part two on April 10.
