With workshops/heats kicking off in November 2019, this national comedy competition is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders over the age of 18. Now's the time for you to get behind the mic and work with some of the country's best First Nations comedians.

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is Australia’s largest ticketed cultural festival and one of Melbourne's major hallmark events. It is, without rival, the premier comedy event in the Southern Hemisphere, second only in the world to Edinburgh’s Fringe Festival and consolidates Melbourne as Australia's comedy capital.

The Festival enjoys major international status and plays an influential role in delivering Australian artists to the markets of North America and the UK as well as introducing important performers to Australian audiences. It is seen as the 'must perform' and 'must see' comedy festival.
