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.

Leon Filewood & Ben Moodie Acknowledge Diss

Leon Filewood & Ben Moodie Acknowledge Diss

Get ready for 50 minutes of not just laughter, but seismic truth-telling!

Acknowledge Diss delivers uproarious truth bombs as two First Nation comedians dismantle racial double standards with razor-sharp wit. Hilarious, insightful and thought-provoking, this show challenges perspectives on First Nations life in Australia, leaving audiences laughing and questioning societal norms.

Acknowledge Diss stars Leon Filewood, Melbourne International Comedy Festival's 2018 Deadly Funny National Winner, who made the headline "Leon Wins then Spews"! (Yes ladies and gentlemen, he is all class). While Ben Moodie, the 2021 Deadly Funny runner-up, 2022 Finalist and current Victorian Deadly Funny heat winner, will rock the stage with witty confidence – and a striking juxtaposition in his suit and TN combo!

They're not just committing faux pas and breaking fashion norms, they're smashing through societal standards with laughter!

Get ready for a night that's part revolution, part riotous revelation – because Acknowledge Diss is not just comedy, it's an unforgettable experience you won't want to miss! #AcknowledgeDiss #ComedyRevolution #winsthenspews
