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.

Don't Panic! (It's Happened Before)

Don't Panic! (It's Happened Before)

    

History repeats itself again and again. And again. Sam Bowden’s show is here to make you realise that it’s all going to be ok, even if we aren’t.

Don’t Panic! (It’s All Happened Before) is a chaotic and passionate romp through history. From Queer rights, to Germany and just about everything in between Bowden has crafted a show that’s almost as informative as it is entertaining. And it’s pretty entertaining. Bowden’s impressive storytelling skills and clear passion for the topic deliver an incredibly enjoyable experience. As does the way he manages to weave it all together in a finale that would be hard not to feel inspired by. This show is expertly constructed and will stick with you, probably specifically the next time you’re doomscrolling through TikTok astrologists. Because what is that if not the modern day version of consulting an oracle?
