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.

Vale Barry Humphries

We are saddened to hear of the passing of comic legend Barry Humphries.

Having started his career in Melbourne, Barry’s early support, along with Peter Cook, helped kick off and raise the profile of the Festival nationally and internationally. With Festival founder John Pinder, Barry was part of a creative generation who celebrated and developed a global platform for Australian comedy.

He will be remembered by legions of fans around the world for his wit, inimitable characters and biting satire.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Vale Barry.
