Melbourne International Comedy Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' spirit, imagination and rich history of storytelling and humour that is an inspiration to all Australians.

We accept the invitation to walk together with First Nations people towards a more positive future for Australia, as described in the Uluru Statement From The Heart.

Ro Campbell True Crime Walking Tour: A Comedian's Guide to Melbourne's Dark Past! - Carlton

Melbourne, a city celebrated for its dynamic laneways, world-class coffee and vibrant sports scene, also harbours a shadowy history rich with intrigue and mystery. Embark on the True Crime Walking Tour in Carlton, where you'll uncover the lesser-known, darker side of this bustling metropolis.

Journey into Melbourne's underbelly with Ro Campbell

Your guide, Ro Campbell, is not just a seasoned stand-up comedian, but also a connoisseur of Melbourne's clandestine history. His unique blend of humour and insight brings to life the tales that have been lost in the annals of time. This tour isn't just about the facts; it's about experiencing Melbourne's past in a way that's as entertaining as it is educational.

Uncover the layers of Melbourne's dark history.

As you wander through the streets of Carlton, Ro Campbell will introduce you to a different side of Melbourne:

Explore the complex legacy of Ned Kelly, a figure shrouded in both notoriety and heroism, whose story extends far beyond the popular myths.

Delve into the suspenseful narrative of the Great Trades Hall Robbery, an event that's more than just a heist, revealing a tangled web of political intrigue and labour struggles.

Expect the unexpected

This tour goes beyond the typical historical recounting. Each story, from audacious robberies to infamous gangs, is laced with Ro Campbell's signature comedic flair, ensuring an experience that is as hilarious as it is hair-raising. While the notorious Ned Kelly and the Trades Hall Robbery are just the tip of the iceberg, there are many more tales to be told, each more surprising and engaging than the last.

Join us for an evening of laughter and lore.

The True Crime Walking Tour: A Comedian's Guide to Melbourne's Dark Past! is an invitation to view Melbourne through a different lens. It's a journey through time, crime and comedy, perfect for both history buffs and those looking for an evening of entertainment with a twist.
