Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around Melbourne here.

Hailed as one of the most exciting up-and-coming comics in the UK scene, Chloe Petts has been making waves. Having her debut show Transience sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival pushed her into the limelight, and she has gained acclaim across her country.

Petts “tackles hot topics like gender and toxic masculinity in a calm, and crucially, hilarious way” states I Magazine in their five-star review.

Dark comedy, strange music and a keyboard strapped to his body are just a few things Huge Davies offers MICF punters this year. With a smash hit at Edinburgh Fringe just like show-mate Chloe, Davies has been described as “A brilliant aloof injection of excellence” by UK magazine, The List.

Award-winning ‘stand up poet’ Rob Auton brings his charm and philosophy to his debut down under. Having performed with Rob Delaney, and working with Netflix, Auton is more than another charm to be caught at this year’s MICF.

The Guardian calls Auton “A genuine original Poetical, philosophical, humane and funny to boot”.

Performing back-to-back sets­­, the New Order is performing April 6-23, at Melbourne Town Hall for this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
