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.

As seen on Mock the Week and ITV, master of one-liners and social media phenomenon Mark Simmons brings his sell-out tour show Quip Off the Mark to Melbourne International Comedy Festival. 

This isn’t your average one-liner show, as there is the running theme throughout. This year Mark’s parents have sold the house he grew up in and has to collect his box of stuff from the loft. Come discover what’s in the box in this top-level one-liner show structured in a way you’ve never seen before.

“A lot of excellent funny one-liners.” Bruce Dessau
