Australian festival faves hitting the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe

Edinburgh Festival Fringe is off and running and there’s no shortage of shows from some of Australia’s best comedians hitting the world’s stage.

Melbourne International Comedy Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' spirit, imagination and rich history of storytelling and humour that is an inspiration to all Australians.

We accept the invitation to walk together with First Nations people towards a more positive future for Australia, as described in the Uluru Statement From The Heart.
