Comedy at the Shirley

Next date: Friday, 22 May 2026 | 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM

An audience in a theatre seated facing a stage and laughing

Join us for an unforgettable evening of gut-busting humour, featuring a treasure trove or comedic talent that'll have you laughing 'til your cheeks ache.

Expect big-name comics and rising stars from Australia and around the world – here to light up the Shirley Burke Theatre. You'll recognise these talents from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, and from shows such as: 

  • Have You Been Paying Attention?
  • Thank God You're Here 
  • Spicks and Specks. 

Lovingly curated by veteran comedy programmer Janet A McLeod (aka the fairy godmother of Melbourne comedy), Comedy at the Shirley is guaranteed to leave you in hysterics.
