In ‘Box-Headed Manbaby’, comedian Daniel Connell continues his tradition of delivering relaxing, relatable stand-up in its purest form. With such a colourful offering at our disposal for this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, there’s so much to see and so many stories to hear. The land of comedy has evolved, now presented in myriad perspectives across art forms. It’s so much fun to watch the many ways in which people present humour on the stage. All that said. . .

One thing you can always expect when it comes to Emma Holland, is the unexpected. That’s a pretty tired descriptor, but it couldn’t be more true here: Emma’s 2025 offering ‘Don’t Touch My Trinkets’ is a zany, off-the-wall presentation delving into art history and exploring the many roads Emma travelled down before landing at stand-up comedy.

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Allstars Supershow hit the Palais Theatre stage on Monday night (31 March) to an audience passionate about comedy and looking for a place to lose themselves in laughs.

Melanie’s tireless teeth-cutting in the industry in recent years – including Gala spots, sold-out shows, and a regular co-hosting gig on Channel Ten – have shaped her as one of the most engaging acts in the business.

Disney films have defined generations with spellbinding storytelling and timeless charm – whether it’s a fearless daughter bringing honour to her family, a pride of lions welcoming a new son, or a sisterhood so strong it can break an ice-cold curse. One thing these films – and countless others from the studio – have in common, is the magical thread of music.
