We are excited to be running several spaces for the 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
All our spaces are indoors, set up as theatre seating, with front of house, full box office services, basic light and sound rigs included.
Our venues are designed to run multiple shows per night, with strictly enforced runtimes (check each venue for specifics) and no intervals.
Our preference is to stage works that run for at least one week (7 performances).
Our venues are:
Our flagship venue at 5 Carson Place, a short stroll from the main MICF hub at Town Hall, featuring two performance spaces that seat 76 and 48 each.
At 270 Flinders Street between Swanston and Elizabeth, an equally short stroll from the main MICF hub at Town Hall, featuring a single performance space that seats 120.
At 4 Parliament Place off Spring Street, across from the Imperial and the Parliament train station exit, featuring four performance spaces that seat 40. In a gorgeous heritage listed building that's normally used as the headquarters of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).
