This event is part of the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Hannan Azlan celebrated her 30th birthday in rehab.
She spent most of her comedy career and adult life running away from her problems, running away from herself. She used dark humour and songs about incest to hide. To mask. To distract the audience. So you couldn’t truly see her.
This production is being written in the spirit of acceptance and forgiveness – to reveal, to bare, to show.

Underground Comedy is an independent pop-up venue at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre for MICF 2026. The program of shows at Underground Comedy promises to honour the legacy that QVWC has created over the years with their involvement with MICF. Supporting women, femme, trans and gender diverse artists and their allies.
It is an intimate 30 seat space that fills a gap in the independent venue scene. The slate of shows includes the return of the much beloved comedy trio ‘Watson’ and a hand picked selection of local, interstate and international comedians.
