Last chance lols at MICF 2018
From laughs to the tune of David O'Doherty's keyboard to wine confessions from Rose Callaghan.
Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2018 has been full of world-class stand-ups, uncontrollable giggles and an endless array of new talent.
The good times aren’t over yet, either, with a final few days of comedy to catch in the city.
Want inspiration for shows you might’ve missed? Look no further…
You have to laugh, right? Irish comedian, David O’Doherty, returns to Australia with this very topic on his mind. Word has it his crappy 1986 keyboard made it through border security more smoothly this time around, too.
Studies have shown that those who see Urzila Carlson at the comedy festival will laugh 98% louder than those who don’t. Or something like that. The much-loved comedian returns to Melbourne with some seriously ridiculous things for us all to think about.
The Man With Three Brains is the latest show from Irish comedian, Jason Byrne, and it’s quickly won over crowds at MICF 2018. Expect even more improv and to very possibly have the jokes turned on you.
Former mechanic, Kel Balnaves, will have a crack at anything, so when a mate told him ‘you can’t fix the world’, he saw that as a challenge instead. Bring all broken hearts and faulty tech with you…
Melbourne native, Nazeem Hussain, has been around the world and back since we last saw him on hometown stages, and boy, has it given him some interesting stories to tell.
There comes a time in every man’s life when he must put on his big boy pants and get on with it. Aussie comedian, Petter Helliar, has done just that and now he’s here to tell us how it’s really going.
No Way Rosé. Not just a fantastic pun but also the title of Rose Callaghan’s latest show. The Melbourne local recalls the good, and definitely not so good, things that have happened at the hands of rosé.
You can’t move far within the Melbourne International Comedy Festival without someone raving about Tommy Little. You’d better just see the Australian comedian and TV presenter for yourself before the festival finishes!
Now a six-time winner of the People’s Choice Award Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Wil Anderson has garnered just a few tales from a busy year of touring. The time he got arrested in Wagga Wagga will most definitely get a mention this season…
Jimeoin is ridiculous and so is his 2018 show. If you don’t see this legend live, can you even claim to like observational comedy?
What do you do when a love story goes very wrong? Write a comedy skit about it, naturally. Kiwi comedian, Angella Dravid, has successfully turned her wildest relationship tale into a must-see show. (Please note: Video contains 18+ content)
