  • The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is the largest Australian comedy event. It is held annually and features stand-up comedy, sketches, songs, and performances from Australian comedians and international ones. The comedy event takes place over four weeks and takes place in various venues in the city.

    The comedy festival is for people 15 years and older because it often has strong language, sexual material, and references that can be offensive. The second-largest international comedy festival globally holds as many as six thousand performances, some of which are free. Some popular sessions are The Great Debate, a comedic debate, and the Opening Night Super Show, a definite crowd puller. There are age-specific segments with female comedians on the Upfront segment, Raw Comedy, an open mic competition, and an Indigenous Australians open mic competition. The festival delivers on laughter and fun.
