The Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour For Comedy Festival 2008, Ben McKenzie, the Man in the Lab Coat, returned to host the Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour! Groups of up to 100 tourists joined the Man and his team of intensely interesting comedians - including Sue-Ann Post, Tommy Dean, Kent Valentine and Bec Hill - for an evening of science, history and laughter as you wander the spooky silent halls of Melbourne Museum after closing time.

Tourists met such amazing inmates as CSIRAC, a room-sized computer which couldn’t beat your mobile phone at chess, and Amargasaurus, the vegetarian dinosaur with a mohawk who predated punk and the straight edge movement by 120 million years.

The Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour ran for six sessions during the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
