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

I'm a Raindrop, Get Me Outta Here!

I'm a Raindrop, Get Me Outta Here!

    

Picture this if you will: Seven year old me, a proud (recycled paper) card carrying member of environmental protection clubs. Add in my unusually high passion for Australian politics and it would seem that I’m A Raindrop Get Me Out Of Here is a show created especially with me in mind, albeit almost two decades late.

We follow three raindrops, Reef, Rocio and Millie on a sketch comedy journey through time. Starting all the way back with Scientaurous Rex (see what they did there?), then it’s caveman era before ending up in present day Australia. The songs are catchy and the message is great. While the environmental themes are at points a little heavy handed in their delivery, this is a show aimed at young children so it comes with the territory. Impressively there are also some really clever jokes that adults, or politically aware children will really enjoy, including a witty ukulele sketch.
