Sit: Back and enjoy some side-stitching laughs.

PSA: there’s just under a week left of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, with some of the season’s hottest acts still making the rounds. To celebrate, we’ve put together a list of our top picks – from seasoned stand-ups like Hannah Gadsby to bright-eyed newcomers like Urooj Ashfaq. Prepare for an evening packed with full belly laughs, insightful commentary, and all-round elite humour.

Hannah Gadsby – Woof!
In 2018, Hannah Gadsby skyrocketed to international stardom with their groundbreaking and universally acclaimed Netflix special, ‘Nanette’. Now, six years later, the Emmy Award-winning comedian returns to their hometown with a brand new show that’s already making waves. Irreverent and introspective, ‘Woof’ examines notions like anxiety, conformity, and whether you can truly be a feminist if you don’t love Taylor Swift.

He Haung – Tiger Daughter vs The World
Cementing herself as a true rising star, He Huang clinched the Best Newcomer title at the 2023 Sydney Comedy Festival and earned a nomination in the same category in Melbourne. Her latest show, ‘Tiger Daughter vs The World’, invites audiences on a side-splitting global adventure, weaving through exotic bazaars, ancient ruins, international cuisine, and comical transportation mishaps. Presented in both English and Chinese, brace yourself for plenty of sass, colourful language, and masterfully crafted punchlines.

Jay Wymarra – AmaJayus
Dubbed a “queer-feral rock opera”, AmaJayus chronicles the inner-life, conflicts, and fashion choices of a young First Nations boy who refuses to do as he’s told. Part-comedy, part-ghost story, the “terrifying yet wonderful” masterpiece is, at its heart, about self-acceptance and finding where you fit. Straddling the line between political and perverse, AmaJayus is put simply: a force to be reckoned with.

Rhys Nicholson – Huge Big Party Congratulations
With a slew of 5 star reviews already pouring in, Rhys Nicholson’s brand new show ‘Huge Big Party Congratulations’ has been lauded as “cathartic”, “awe-inspiring”, and “a little bit below-the-belt” – all big ticks in our books. Winner of the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award for Most Outstanding Show, Rhys tends to sell-out – be sure to get in quick!

Nick White – Teenage Dream
If Nick White looks familiar, it’s likely due to his viral impressions on TikTok, showcasing universally recognisable characters like “dull co-worker” and “European guy at your hostel.” In his debut show, ‘Teenage Dream,’ he continues this brand of nuanced, observational humour while reflecting on the experiences that have made him who he is. As big fans of his videos, we’re eager to check it out!
