Ray O&rsquo;Leary (Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention?) pulled a man from a wrecked car and as the man lay dying, he used his last ounce of strength to ask Ray (Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival) to tell his children that he loved them. And Ray (who sold out tours to Melbourne, Edinburgh, and more) will get around to it, but first, he has to do this comedy show. &nbsp; &nbsp; 'In awe of the talented performer&rsquo;s ability to captivate his audience&rsquo; **** Chortle&nbsp; &nbsp; 'In awe of the talented performer&rsquo;s ability to captivate his audience&rsquo; ****Edinburgh Festival Magazine&nbsp;

&nbsp;
I&rsquo;ve heard the expression &lsquo;Stop being so dramatic&rdquo; my whole life, but only now, at the culturally relevant age of 34, am I ready to address it and face these drama queen allegations head-on. Please join me, Chris Parker, for an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy. Sure, I&rsquo;ve cried in every speech I&rsquo;ve ever had to deliver publicly, and yes, there may have been a situation this year where I slept on my neck weirdly and bought myself an unnecessary neck brace. Still, I&rsquo;m desperate to prove that I&rsquo;m really chill and down to earth. So, what better way to get you to understand that than with a one-man variety hour spectacle chill stand-up comedy hour?&nbsp; &nbsp; Building on this momentum, 2024 saw Chris host the New Zealand Comedy Festival Galas, tour his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand, make his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You&rsquo;re Here (where he won the episode), and release the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked.&nbsp; &nbsp; NZ Herald - &ldquo;By the time the show ends, you will have sore sides from laughing&rdquo; &nbsp;
***** - Time Out "Chris Parker is the real deal, a brilliant comedian who will leave you scream-laughing&rdquo;&nbsp;

Guy Williams

SHOW TIMES:&nbsp;8:50PM MON - SAT, 7:50PM SUNDAYS
"As a comedian I&rsquo;m a passionate defender of free speech, unless that free speech is used to mildly criticize the obviously bad things that I&rsquo;m saying, in which case it's cancel culture and now I&rsquo;m the victim. I would also like to take this opportunity to say that it&rsquo;s important to think about my mental health."
Nominated for &ldquo;Most Outstanding Show&rdquo; at the 2023 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
&lsquo;Part mayhem, part genius.&rsquo; ★★★★ fringeworld.com.au

Paul Williams

SHOW TIMES - Tue &gt; Sat 7:45pm | Sun: 6:45pm
Thank you for reading my blurb. I have told over a thousand jokes and received countless rounds of applause and bouts of laughter. Not to mention the smiles I&rsquo;ve procured. I hope you attend this festival and I hope that of all the shows in the festival, you choose to attend my show. That would mean the world to me. And by the way, the show&rsquo;s going to be fantastic. Everyone is telling me that this is gonna be my year and I am feeling very optimistic about how it&rsquo;s going to go. I have appeared on the TV show Taskmaster New Zealand and was once asked to be in a movie (I found the movie&rsquo;s concept to be disgusting so I didn&rsquo;t respond to the email). Have a great festival, Paul.

Joel Creasey

SHOW TIMES

Joel Creasey, co-host of Australia&rsquo;s number one national drive show, Ricki-Lee, Tim &amp; Joel will present his 15th solo show. Thanks For Being Here presents an hour of Joel&rsquo;s signature delivered with his trademark sass.

Becky Lucas

My name is Becky Lucas and this is the blurb for my stand up comedy show. I am the only female Australian comedian to have performed on the Conan O&rsquo;Brien show in the US, I&rsquo;ve hosted the MICF gala, I&rsquo;ve performed my solo show at the Sydney Opera house and written my very own book called 'Acknowledgements'. &nbsp; &nbsp; The thing is, I&rsquo;ve listed my credits here for almost ten years and to be honest, I&rsquo;m not even sure if anyone has ever read them. I don&rsquo;t want to include quotes from newspapers about how funny I am because who cares?&nbsp; &nbsp;

Cameron James

SHOW TIMES: MON - SAT 7:30PM, 6:30PM SUNDAYS
MICF Best Show Nominee, SCF Director&rsquo;s Choice Winner, and Bad Boy of Musical Comedy* (*self proclaimed), Cameron James is back with his biggest rock n roll show yet. Join Cam as he digs through the record crate of his life, pinballing from hilariously true stories, to cutting cultural commentary, to full blown pop songs. Broken Records is a musical comedy show about what it means to be alive right f***ing here, right f***ing now. As seen on The Gala, Spicks &amp; Specks, Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Bump &amp; more.

Bron Lewis

Ever wanted to know what your high school teacher actually thought of you? Or whether she believed your excuses? Or what she wanted to say to the Year 8 boy who refused to leave the class? Well, you&rsquo;re going to want to see this show. Before Bron Lewis was one of Australia&rsquo;s most promising new comedians, she was a high school teacher for almost a decade. It was an era where she both nurtured young hearts, encouraged kids to be brilliant, but she also made some lifelong enemies. You&rsquo;ll hear more about them this show than the nerds.&nbsp; &nbsp; Bron became a teacher because she hates learning - she would rather saw off her own legs then learn a new card game, and in her opinion, who ever coined the term &lsquo;board game&rsquo; was bang on. Bron raises the question: what happens when someone tries to avoid learning at all costs? They teach. Sit down, and get ready to learn.&nbsp; &nbsp; &ldquo;Lewis has a skilful, natural delivery, in control of her material and holding the audience rapt without seeming to make an effort..&rdquo; - Chortle&nbsp;

SHOW TIMES: 6:00PM &amp; 5:00PM SUNDAYS
"This is the official bio for my brand new show You Paid for This. Not to be confused with any of the fakes ones out there. I had to write this bio myself, which really threw my morning plans. I thought coming up with the title was the hard part, but writing a 150 word biography about a comedy show I haven&rsquo;t performed yet is really hard. It&rsquo;s called You Paid for This, and yes, I&rsquo;m aware you likely haven&rsquo;t actually paid yet. It&rsquo;s what we call in the biz &ldquo;presumptive selling&rdquo;. A bold, but risky move. The show does what the title suggests, presuming you buy a ticket. I can&rsquo;t promise much beyond an hour of jokes, sponsored by you. You haven&rsquo;t paid yet, but we both know it&rsquo;s only a matter of time. See you there!

Emma Holland

She mostly grew up in between Bandung, Indonesia and Canberra, Australia. She currently live in Brisbane because it&rsquo;s warm and she has brittle bones.
She does stand-up comedy and loves including pictures and videos in her little skits.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Tom Cashman&nbsp;is flying to New Zealand as we speak, with a new hour of stand up that may or may not include the secret to happiness. You might know Tom from TikTok, you might know him from Taskmaster Australia, or you might be grappling with the idea of him for the first time right now as you read this. It&rsquo;s pointless to continue guessing your mental state. But if you like the mental state of laughing, you won&rsquo;t miss this show.

&nbsp;
In her comedy show, Anisa Nandaula hilariously navigates the complexities of being a Black girl in Australia, intertwining her experiences with relationships to her new home, Uganda, and the people she loves.&nbsp; &nbsp; From her arrival in Queensland, where she expected a multicultural paradise but found cows instead, to her awkward friendship with classmate Rachel, Anisa shares her journey with sharp wit.

Now a smash TV show on the ABC, award-winning Kiwi comedian, podcaster and improviser Guy Montgomery is bringing his &lsquo;Guy Mont-Spelling Bee&rsquo; back to its roots with a live show at the Palais Theatre on Monday April 7 as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
&nbsp;
After three consecutive years of sell out shows the Guy Mont-Spelling Bee returns to MICF, where Montgomery will be joined by some of the biggest names in the festival, to put them through their spelling paces with a variety of straightforward and frustratingly complex rounds. The show is designed to be infuriating to take part in and entertaining to watch.

Josh Berry

SHOW TIMES: 4:00pm
"This is the official bio for my brand new show You Paid for This. Not to be confused with any of the fakes ones out there. I had to write this bio myself, which really threw my morning plans. I thought coming up with the title was the hard part, but writing a 150 word biography about a comedy show I haven&rsquo;t performed yet is really hard. It&rsquo;s called You Paid for This, and yes, I&rsquo;m aware you likely haven&rsquo;t actually paid yet. It&rsquo;s what we call in the biz &ldquo;presumptive selling&rdquo;. A bold, but risky move. The show does what the title suggests, presuming you buy a ticket. I can&rsquo;t promise much beyond an hour of jokes, sponsored by you. You haven&rsquo;t paid yet, but we both know it&rsquo;s only a matter of time. See you there!
