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.

The Standup Sessions

Melbourne International Comedy Festival has joined forces with the Victorian Government’s Victoria Together team to produce some seriously funny content for all Victorians to enjoy during lockdown.

The result is The Standup Sessions, a brand new series featuring socially distanced comedy and chat with some of Melbourne’s favourite comedians.

Across 5 episodes, our wonderful host Nazeem Hussain is joined by an exciting mix of the biggest names and newest faces of the Melbourne comedy scene.

Headliners Frank Woodley, Em Rusciano, Denise Scott, Rhys Nicholson and Geraldine Hickey will take to the stage ‘alongside’ (in a socially distant way) rising stars Daniel Connell, Annie Louey, Jude Perl, Kirsty Webeck, Michael Naawi and Alex Ward.
