The 40th edition of Melbourne Internation Comedy Festival has rolled into town and, to celebrate, we have a bunch of double passes (worth $70 each) to give away to some lucky Broadsheet Access members.

 

Up for grabs this week:

 

Ed Night (UK) – Your Old Mucker: An hour of mischievous, self-aware and utterly gratifying comedy nominated for Best Comedy Show at Edinburgh Comedy Festival 2025. Follows sold-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Soho Theatre. 

 

Luke McQueen (UK) – Comedian’s Comedian: The critically acclaimed comedy maverick makes his Australian debut with a show that’s part stand-up, part psychological breakdown. Described as “relentless fun from the master of ambiguity” by The Guardian. 

 

Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Sharon Wanjohi and Thor Stenhaug – New Order UK: Three of the UK’s hottest young comedians in one big show. Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Best Breakthrough Act winner at the 2019 Scottish Comedy Awards, is best known for hit podcast Here Comes the Guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe. British Kenyan queer comedian Sharon Wanjohi comes fresh from an Edinburgh Fringe debut and a nomination for the Sean Lock Comedy Award 2025. Norwegian transplant Thor Stenhaug is an infectiously positive storyteller who’s fresh off sold-out Edinburgh Fringe shows and a double-run at London’s Soho Theatre.
