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.

Melbourne International Comedy Festival proudly presents

Zainab Johnson Appearing in Headliners (USA)

Hot on the heels of a sold-out 2023 season, this year’s Headliners are set to take the stage in an exhilarating double bill, featuring two of the most dynamic and downright hilarious comedians the USA has to offer!

Featuring Fire Island star Joel Kim Booster and series regular of Amazon Original’s UPLOAD, Zainab Johnson.

Zainab Johnson is a multi-talented stand-up comedian, actress and writer, drawing inspiration from her distinct perspective molded by her upbringing in Harlem as one of 13 siblings in a black Muslim family. Despite earning a degree in Education and Mathematics and initially embarking on a teaching career, Zainab swiftly discovered her true calling, steering her towards the world of comedy.

Zainab is a series regular on the Amazon Original hit series UPLOAD, co-hosts Netflix’s 100 Humans and her comedy special Hijabs Off premiered on Amazon Prime Video last year. She has performed at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival first as a New Face of Comedy, then as one of Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch.
