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.

M is for Melbourne: The World’s Mostly* Liveable City

M is for Melbourne: The World’s Mostly* Liveable City

    

Julian O’Shea’s brings his affable blend of urbanist education and candid humour to the festival in M is for Melbourne. Julian has cultivated a community who loves his cheeky and rebellious take on urbanism, and this live show delivers that in spades. This is an hour full of genuinely eye-opening facts about our city and a satisfying mix of accessible and nerdy humour. He avoids taking an uncritical eye towards Narrm and highlights the missteps in our urbanist history, and in doing so he firmly places comedy in the urbanists toolkit as a way to speak to the heart and empower city-dwellers to advocate for better cities. A brain-tingling and satisfying night out.
