Deadly Funny 2026 events
For two decades Deadly Funny has unearthed the freshest and funniest First Nations talent from across the country. Open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders over the age of 18 – it's free to participate and includes a two-hour workshop with a seasoned professional comedian to help refine your ideas before you unleash your talent onstage.
Need another reason to get involved? You could win a trip to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to perform at the National Grand Final, where you’ll be in the running for a massive $3,000 cash prize.
