Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow returns to Korea in 2025

We’re back for a second year! Proudly presented by the Busan International Comedy Festival, the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow is returning to Busan with two of the brightest comedy stars of Australian stage and television – Zoë Coombs Marr and Dilruk Jayasinha.

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.
