Holographic Charizard
A comical music show about the greatest Pokémon and Pokémon card ever made!
Every song is about Charizard, interspersed with stories that take you on a journey of love, betrayal, hardship and humour. This 2026 Adelaide Fringe Fund recipient and cult hero of the Adelaide music scene is bringing his evolved showmanship and stories to Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the first time!
The show mixes comedy, acoustic guitar and other spectacles alongside positive and uplifting crowd interactions (unless they are squirtle fans). You will hear all the cult classics including 'A song about Charizard', 'I choose you Charizard' and 'Why did you have to leave me Charizard'. Along with new works about Charizard adventures in far off lands like 'Everywhere you go is Charizard' and a song written entirely in Indonesian, 'lagu lagu Charizard harus dangdut la'. Many people have asked for it, now it's here, the Holographic Charizard experience at Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
*Pokémon knowledge not required, but encouraged!
Performance Thu 26 Mar 5pm at Trainscendence will incorporate some sensory friendly elements (such as keeping house lights on low during the performance and allowing audience members to move around during the show).
Late-Night chaos: Thu 26 – Sun 29 Mar 10pm at Speakeasy
