Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Arts Centre Melbourne proudly present

Up Next Comedy

  • Australia

Stay ahead of the curve with the freshest funnies from comedy’s new kids on the block!

Handpicked by Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Up Next Comedy showcases verified lineups of the funniest young performers from across the country. Expect stand-up, sketch, one too many TikTok references and a big-name special guest each show!

Mentored by professional comedy legends, all the performers have workshopped their very best material for these shows (picture a Rocky-style training montage, but with less punches and more punchlines). This is your chance to see the latest (and soon to be greatest) on the comedy scene.

Suitable for audiences 13+

Language – occasional coarse language

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.
