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.

Johanna Cosgrove Hi, Delusion! (New Zealand)

Johanna Cosgrove Hi, Delusion! (NZ)

Johanna Cosgrove is utterly deluded.

She hit her 30s in a pandemic, has been slowly slipping into the void since and is determined to take everyone down with her. 

Part stand-up, part sketch and 100% stunning, this darkly hilarious hour from award-winning polymath Johanna Cosgrove (Aunty) will take you to the brink and back. 

Directed by award winning Jess Joy Wood (Kura Shoulda Woulda) Hi, Delusion! is the hysterical and cursed extravaganza you never knew you needed. Strap in because one gorgeous woman is about to randomly spiral in front of your living eyes for 60 full minutes! 

Welcome to Hi, Delusion! 

Johanna Cosgrove is one of the fastest rising stars in New Zealand comedy. Co-host of the cult hit podcast 'Rats in the Gutter', a stalwart of the Auckland improv scene (Snort, Heartthrobs), a TV writer (Shortland Street), poet (Crying on the Phone) and star of the soon to be released Madam (starring Rachel Griffiths and Danielle Cormack) Johanna is returning to Melbourne for her second Melbourne International Comedy Festival with this sell-out and dazzling hour.
