Describe yourself in exactly 140 characters (length of a tweet)? Nick Rudich: 29/M/Melbourne. I love a wide variety of comedic styles. I like to sing about mundane things in the voice of James Blunt. If I was a porn star, my name would be Rick Nudich.

What's the best joke you've heard recently? A mate of mine had a few of us over for dinner the other night. Quite casually, he said, “I hope that nobody's allergic to nuts, because I like to rest mine on the table.”

And the worst joke? Last week, a colleague of mine arrived an hour late to work. Jokingly, he said to me, “Sorry I'm late, I had to find a vein.” It didn't go down well with our boss who had just walked in behind him.

What's a dream you've had recently? Once I dreamt that I was fighting a bunch of monsters outside my house when I suddenly became aware that I was in a dream. I thought, “Screw this”, and promptly took flight Banana-Man style and met up with Jessica Alba.

What are you looking forward to the most at the MICF? I really enjoy checking out some of the smaller, up-and-coming acts. There's always going to be a few hits and misses, but you'd be surprised by how much fantastic comedic talent there is out there. Some mates of mine are in a group called Wizard Sandwiches, who are hilarious, so I'll definitely pop along and check them out.

WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday 27 March to Saturday 6 April, MICF, Colonial Hotel
