Six Acts You Don’t Want To Miss At Melbourne International Comedy Festival

ALEX WILLIAMSON

He might have made his way into the spotlight via internet fame, but Alex Williamson truly shines when he takes to the stage, his latest offering, Make The World A Banter Place, being no exception.

Tickets

Khaled Khalafalla

Charismatic to no end, Aussie favourite Khaled Khalafall is set for a massive 2017. After touring the world and opening for Jim Jefferies in 2016, Khalafall’s ready to get Loose. As his TV and film credits expand rapidly, it might be your last chance to catch him at venues like the Quilt Room at Trades Hall.

Tickets

Chris D'Elia

US favourite Chris D’Elia has mastered off-beat, high-energy comedy - no doubt assisted through a wealth of notable TV credits, including Workaholics, Whitney and Undateable.

Tickets

Alice Fraser

It seems there’s almost nothing Alice Frase can’t do and the Academic, ex-corporate lawyer, writer, musician and comedian keeps pumping out material at a solid pace, returning to the stage with her third “reliably silly” show in as many years, Empire. As its title suggests, the new show goes head-to-head with the idea of power and revenge.

Tickets

Neel Kolhatkar

At 22, Neel Kolhatkar has achieved a hell of a lot, and his new show, #ObjectifyNeel, sees the internet star breakdown race, youth, culture and politics with relatable honesty. He’ll cut through the social media noise and get to the core of issues, all while utilising the impressive roster of accents he’s become known for.

Tickets

Jeff Green

Author, radio host, TV personality – it’s surprising that UK superstar Jeff Green has time to take his stand-up around the world, but he returns to Australia for a comprehensive tour with his new show, Honestly. He’s scored praise from Michael Mcintyre and Bill Bailey, which give you a pretty good indication of the strength of his live show.
