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.

Jay Wymarra’s queer cabaret adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus is an incredibly personal portrait of queer realisation and becoming. Shaffer’s story of Amadeus Mozart’s manipulation at the hands of Antonio Salieri is ripe for queering but Wymarra’s take is muddied by a lack of structure. Nevertheless, Wymarra’s enchanting stage presence makes for an enjoyable hour of insights into his journey to queerness.
