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

Annie Are You OK?

Annie Are You OK?

    

Annie Are You Ok? Would be worth the admission price for the name alone. But don’t let the pun title fool you, Annie Boyle seemingly nonchalantly performs one of the most unique and touching comedy shows to grace this festival. Detailing a night out to see Delta Goodrem perform at a gay club, each line is more random and surprising than the last. The crowd never quite knows what will happen next in the story, and each revelation only draws the audience in more.

The Fleabag comparisons are obvious, due to the one-woman-show nature and Boyle’s tendency to look to the side or ‘offscreen,’ but this performance is also wholly original and enjoyably Australian. Prepare to hear about Madonna (no, not that one), Chicken Run (yes, that one), and to laugh through tears after hearing from a DJ called G-Sus.
