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

Mamiya 7

Mamiya 7

    

Comedian and musician (yes musician, check his music out, it is amazing!) Paul Williams is best known as the Taskmaster’s assistant on the New Zealand iteration of Taskmaster where he’s beloved for the deadpan, endearing awkwardness that he brings to the role. And deadpan, endearing awkwardness is kind of my shtick so I eagerly lined up early for a good seat.

Mamiya 7 details William’s adventures in buying a second-hand film camera off eBay and finding a used roll of film in it. It’s a vague premise that gives little away, which turned out to be wonderful because the next hour of comedy was some of the best you could hope for. It almost feels remiss to give away any spoilers as this might be best experienced without knowing, but to give a taster, the audience is treated to stand up, hilarious songs, incredible photoshop, and one of the best love stories heard at the comedy festival.
