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

Can I Be Mean For a Minute?

Can I Be Mean For a Minute?

    

I was initially drawn to Aurelia St Claire because of her insightfully hilarious TikToks which spoofed life in Narrm (Melbourne). Their laconic sense of humour suits the platform well, but struggles to fill a an hour long set. Her lively set however added nuance and depth to her character that we don’t see as much online, stories about their marriage, job history, and dating are fun and engaging. In contrast however, a low point was a bit where she shared headlines from Reddit with us to judge whether the posters were assholes or not. While their personality is enchanting and engaging, there’s not enough here to make the hour feel as fulfilling as her TikTok does.
