For those as yet aware the Cockatoo Island comedy festival has been scrapped due to a lack of sponsors just 10 days out from its opening on October 16, 2010.
Billed as The World's Funniest Island, the event was to have featured Jane Turner and Gina Riley as suburban mother and daughter Kath And Kim as well as comedian Wil Anderson, the Umbilical Brothers and Michael Winslow from the Police Academy films.
In a statement on their website Australian Comedy Festival said:
"The world's funniest island will not be proceeding this year due to a drop off in sponsorship"
and that
"ticket holders will be refunded via their credit card within 14 business days"

The event was cancelled yesterday after organisers failed to secure a bail-out package from Events New South Wales, which was supporting it.
Ticket holders will be refunded within 14 business days.
The comedy festival began last year on Cockatoo Island, which was once a prison and shipyard.
