Two massive First Nations comedy showcases hit NITV this November

This November, not one, but two massive Deadly Funny showcases are hitting NITV and SBS OnDemand!

Work with us!

We're currently on the look out for roles across our Venues, Production, Marketing and Partnerships team!

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.
