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.

Samuel Gebreselassie I'm a Refugee... Get Me Out of Here!

Comedy Zone 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 

Winner 2017 & 2019 Comedy Out West Competition

As heard on ABC Radio Melbourne’s Comedy Bites. 

Sam was just a child in 1998 when his family escaped a war-torn Ethiopia for a Sudanese refugee camp, before finding themselves all the way in New Zealand thanks to the UN’s refugee program.

Today he’s one of Australia’s rising comedy stars, a multi-award-winning comedian and producer making his way across the ditch to share his hilariously unique origin story and outsider perspective on the world.
