MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL
COMEDY FESTIVAL
COMES TO COMMON ROOMS
Melbourne International Comedy Festival arrives in Common Rooms tonight! Our festival friends are running rooms all over Trades Hall, so consider it a one-stop shop for a big comedy-night-out in Carlton (plus our Loading Dock bar has got your pre-and post show bevvies covered). Rediscover some familiar Fringe faces like Aurelia St Clair, Andrew Hansen, Geraldine Quinn, Aiden Willcox & Isaac Haigh and Impromptunes, all under one heritage-listed roof. Check out everything that’s on at Trades Hall, and we’ll see you there (we’ll be the ones pouring said bevvies).
30 Mar–23 Apr
Trades Hall
Experimental at State Library Victoria
From 29 March
9pm ’til late
It’s free, it’s Fringey, and it’s very pink! Check out Experimental, a series of weekly intimate performances from Fringe icons happening inside The Rest is Up to You, our very sexy Melbourne Fringe exhibition at State Library Victoria. After a sold-out March season, tickets to April’s program are now live. Places are limited, so book early to avoid seething disappointment.
The Rest Is Up To You
Discover Melbourne Fringe’s whopping 40-year legacy at this interactive exhibition at State Library Victoria. Be immersed in a beautifully designed sound and video installation filled with a cacophony of voices telling tales from Fringe’s past and present. Opened as part of our 40th B’day celebrations in 2022, you can still join us for this once-in-a-generation trip through the last 40 years of Fringe history so that we can start dreaming up the next 40.
Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School
12 May
9pm ’til late
Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School is a Melbourne dance floor institution that delivers nothing but non-stop good times and good tunes. Our hot tip is to book in quick – their last gig SOLD OUT and tickets for 12 May are already moving faster than our feet when we hear DJ Andrew McClelland playing ABBA from
the smokers.
