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.

WInner Director’s Choice Award 2023 Sydney Comedy Festival

Edgy. Groundbreaking. Game changing. Rising Hollywood stars. These are all words we saw tattooed on a man sitting on the train eating raw meat. Anyway, we’ve got a new show.

Fresh from their award-winning sold-out 2023 show, Hot Department are back with a full hour of high-energy, cinematic, unhinged sketch comedy.

As seen on ABC Comedy, Just For Laughs and opening for the likes of Patti Harison, Aunty Donna and Stingray Shirley (the world's first fishwoman comedian with a Netflix special filmed completely underwater! Many lives were lost during the taping due to an overlooked leak in the tank, but that didn’t stop Shirley from crushing it with her ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ flare and famous catchphrase “I mean, shell-ooooo”).

'Mind-meltingly funny.' Beat Magazine

'A cult following.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)

'This is NOT stand up.' ★★★★ The Age

Strictly for audiences 18+
