The Melbourne International Comedy Festival gets into NAIDOC in a big way this year, with a special performance of its Deadly Funny indigenous stand up comedy mob.

Deadly Funny is the Comedy Festival’s competition and mentoring programme for new, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander comedians. We proudly presented our third Grand Final at the Capitol Theatre in front of a sold out crowd, earlier this year.
