Stage
As always, the MICF program is a monster — so we've whittled it down to the shows you have to see.
Fleabag — DryWrite and Soho Theatre
After jumping from theatre to television, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hit comes to the Malthouse.
Michelle Brasier & Laura Frew: Double Denim Adventure Show
A raucous show that's an all-round good night out straight from the early 2000s.
Zoe Coombs Marr: Bossy Bottom
The comedian has ditched her alter ego Dave and will tackle gender, feminism and homophobia as herself.
Demi Lardner: I Love Skeleton
Lardner's stand-up is strange and baffling — and that's exactly why you should see her new show.
Rhys Nicholson: Seminal
Nicholson's comedy is always relatable and utterly hilarious, making this a must-see set at the comedy fest.
Sam Simmons: Radical Women of Latin American Art, 1960-1985
An ambiguously titled show that — given Simmons' hilarious CV — we're willing to take a risk on.
Danielle Walker: Bush Rat
Walker's stand-up ranges from adorable to vaguely maniacal — and we mean that as a compliment.
Andy Zaltzman: Right Questions, Wrong Answers
The host of The Bugle returns for another nonsensical show.
Comedy for Good: A Benefit for Youth Homelessness
Tom Ballard will host a very funny evening for a very important cause.
