History

'The comics' choice gong is a beloved (and much bitten) piece of wood. Selected by an ever-growing committee of comedians (as each year's winner is entitled to join the voting process), it is awarded to comics for doing good stuff n' that.' (https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/about-us/awards)
