Brown Women Comedy

Brown Women Comedy The largest line-up of award winning besharam (shameless) Indian & South Asian comedians in Australia

23/05/2026

Most people think you’re funny or not funny. But you CAN actually learn how to do stand-up comedy. There’s an art to it, just like there is to theatre, dance and music. It’s a skill. Yet there are so few places to learn aside from practicing at seedy bars at 11pm.

ALL the women I know are pretty funny ...when they let loose and reclaim their besharam self. We pitched to program to Bunjil Place to run a supportive, intensive and very practical comedy training program for women of colour comedians AND they said yes! We only have 10 spots left and it’ll be run in Narre Warren (City of Casey) and taught by the very talented and very funny Annie Louey. After 8 weeks there will be a live public showcase (12 Sep - mark it in your calendar). Applications close on 15 June.

We ran this course 2 years ago thanks to City of Melbourne and it was so impactful and one of my personal highlights seeing emerging comedians draw fromt their rich lived experience and create relatable material.

I’ve been waiting for the right partner to come on board to run it again. Huge shout out to Marisa Cesario and Brad Spolding for making this possible.

Register before 15 June at the link in bio! We’re accepting people on a rolling bases so spots may fill out before 15 June.

And that’s a wrap to our 5th season at one of the world’s largest comedy festival - we damn lucky it happens in the city started in. Half a decade later we’re the largest (and only) platform for women of colour comedians in the country. That truly is wild.

We can’t wait to see more bold besharam and brilliant brown women comedians in this space. We literally cannot wait so rather than sit around and wait, we’ve partnered with to launch an 8 week course in comedy which ends with an opportunity to perform at brown women comedy up and comers 🎤 if you’re keen, you know the drill.

Big shoutout to our comedians this year who smashed it *every single night* and to our audiences who show us so much love that it heals all our trauma. 💋

Plus our venue partner where it all started 5 years ago - it was so wholesome to come back home to where it all began.

We’ve been informed this is not how you build an audience.

We’re always open to feedback, but this one’s a little harder to take on board after a sold-out closing weekend on our 2026 MICF run ✨

To our audience, our comedians, our team, and our support system - thank you for showing up, and for making the whole thing feel bigger than us.

We’ll be back louder and bolder. And on that note - apologies in advance for any future feather-ruffling we know will inevitably be happening 🫶🏽

People hear ‘Brown Women Comedy’ and think they need to fall into that demographic to come to a show.

That’s just not how it works.

You can also come if you’re a man or white. Just like we sometimes go to the AFL or to IWD events.

Come by unless you’re okay being complacent ☺️
