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.

Bombastic JOE That's not what I ordered, you clearly didn't listen to me

Bombastic JOE That's not what I ordered, you clearly didn't listen to me

Bombastic JOE have laced up their trotters and are ready for their fourth run at Melbourne International Comedy Festival! 

After an unexplained two-year hiatus from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Jon, Oli, and Ed have repeatedly and aggressively banged their heads together to produce another high-energy, genre-bending barrage of sketches.

This year the JOE boys return as their loveably flawed stage personalities, quickly and seamlessly guiding the audience from sketch to sketch while enthusiastically doing everything they can to make the audience enjoy the show (please).

That’s not what I ordered, you clearly didn’t listen to me. sees the boys fluster and flounder under the overwhelming pressure of hosting a comedy sketch show. The boys will stray even further from the conventional, seeking to subvert the audience’s expectations by playing with tension, repetition, pacing, timing, sound and, of course, repetition.

This show will be perfect for fun-loving audiences who are looking for an absurdist sketch show that will see them laugh until they cry or cry until they laugh. Bombastic JOE extends a warm welcome to loyal fans, daring newcomers and anyone interested in a sharply written and performed sketch show.

For their previous shows at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Bombastic JOE has received lustrous reviews including from Tay Around Town (4/5 stars) and Subculture (5/5 stars).
