Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Melbourne International Comedy Festival is back and in 2026 they're celebrating 40 years of funny. Get ready for a star-studded month of longtime festival faves, rising stars, international icons, family fun and non-stop celebration. They're taking the party across Melbourne, and everyone is invited.

Even though it’s their big birthday, they’ve got gifts aplenty for you. Take your pick from hundreds of shows, popping up everywhere from the backstage bars to the biggest stages in town. Whether you want to treat yourself to a post-work giggle, take a chance on someone new, fill the school holidays with laughter for the kids, or party through the night at the Festival Club, there are so many ways to join in on the fun.

It’s their party and they'll laugh if they want to. Browse the program and book now!
