The Dark Comedy Special

One of the most talked-about shows at last year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, The Dark Comedy Special, is back. A response to the ‘you can’t say anything in comedy anymore’ myth, The Dark Comedy Special’s popularity has soared over the years, and due to overwhelming demand, this year’s Festival will feature an expanded run of four shows. Audiences can expect bold, boundary-pushing content from some of Australia’s darkest comedians that tackles taboo topics with razor-sharp wit and fearless honesty. This show is perfect for those who enjoy comedy that dares to explore life’s darker corners while still delivering gut-busting laughter.
