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.

La Mama presents

Lana Schwarcz The Terminator

Take away reproductive rights? Over my dead body.

This is not a comedy. It’s theatre about abortion with more comedy than expected.

Amongst the wild imaginings and dark humour, award-winning performance artist Lana Schwarcz tells a story of deep truths weaving in song, fact and shadow puppets. And an actual cannon.

Because this time, it’s personal.

'Schwarcz does a deft dance between the political, the legal, the comic and the educational. This show deserves full houses.' ★★★ Adelaide Advertiser

'Pure comedy with a serious edge.' ★★★★ Uptown Magazine

'Brilliant and unusual.' ★★★★ Winnipeg Free Press

'Hilariously honest.' Sometimes Melbourne

'Uproariously funny, devastating and heartfelt.' Residents NZ

Directed by Penny Baron, with initial dramaturgy by Glynis Angell
