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 Funny Tonne

Dodger

Dodger

    

Larry Dean is a highly engaging and hilarious performer.
In his new show Dodger, he discusses his beloved Nanny, his partner and the ups and downs of an autism diagnosis-inspiring many excited rants of his special interests. 

One of the best things about this show has to be Dean's impersonations and physical comedy. There are multiple references to Elvis throughout this show and thus a whole lot of hip swivels and groovy deep voices. 

As a reflection on how much his grandmother impacted his life, and how she in turn was impacted by a dementia diagnosis, Dean tells heartfelt stories of how he would engage in her newer realities to bring her happiness.This in turn speaks to how making another person happy in difficult situations can have positive impacts.
