Comedy For Corporates:
Work Life Balance Is For Losers
James Clark (NSW)
Brave corporate professionals of Australia. Can’t relate to the weed-smoking, Centrelink-complaining, ironic t-shirt wearing comedy from your differently tax-bracketed contemporaries? Then this show is for you. Or if you can relate and want in on this thing we've got going, then this is for you too.
4 SHOWS || 30/03 to 02/04 || 2023


Back To Abnormal
Simon Palomares (VIC)
Simon returns to the MICF with a reflective show, in this, his last year of his fifties, to ponder on the world and personal changes of the last two years. From sourdough bread to Tiger King to Lockdown Number 5 and how we celebrated freedom with an earthquake.
6 SHOWS || 01/04 to 06/04 || 2023
This Is Your Trial
RGB Monster (UK)
Direct from the UK for a strictly limited run! Guilty or innocent? You decide. The five-star, award-winning comedy courtroom show where audience members accuse friends of crimes is back! Top comedians take on the role of Judge, Prosecutor and Defence lawyers, hearing testimony, cross-examining witnesses and improvising their arguments for each case. It’s then up to the audience as jury to deliver their verdict.
10 SHOWS || 31/03 to 23/04 || 2023
