Smatch Game & Thank God You're Queer

Corner Shop Comedy is very proud to bring their two most popular feature shows to Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the first time over one huge weekend!

SATURDAY 6 APRIL – SMATCH GAME
You're invited to the triumphant return of Smatch Game, the game show that dares to ask: what if everyone doing Snatch Game was actually funny?

Join four of Melbourne's finest character comedians in this wholly original, not-at-all derivative game show, as they showcase their most cooked and chaotic celebrity impersonations and battle it out for the ultimate prize!

Hosted and co-produced by Golden Gibbo nominee Andy Balloch (Am I The Drama?), Smatch Game is the perfect opportunity for you to rub shoulders with the A-list and [blank] them in the [blank] with your [blank].

Past guests include Honor Wolff, Thomas Jaspers, Ben Russell, Lena Moon and many more!

SUNDAY 7 APRIL – THANK GOD YOU'RE QUEER
After a year of sell-out shows, Thank God You're Queer is back to throw your favourite LGBTQIA+ comics into the deep end of improv comedy!

Join the fun as they perform a stand-up set before squirming amongst the finest local (and queer!) improv minds. Will they rise to the challenge? Come and find out!

Co-produced by Joe Dolan, Thank God You're Queer has been putting the bi in bi-monthly shows at The Motley Bauhaus since January 2023, always attracting sell-out crowds and incredible local queer comics.

Past guests include Charlie Lewin, Scout Boxall, Tommy and Eadie, Jordan Barr and many more!

Corner Shop Comedy is a not-for-profit comedy theatre founded in 2019. Since 2022 we have run monthly stand-up and improv shows at The Motley Bauhaus, showcasing the top talent across Melbourne's local comedy scene. We also run regular comedy workshops in improv, clowning, sketch and more. 80% of profits from our shows go directly to our performers, and at least 50% of profits from our workshops go directly to our instructors. The rest is reinvested into the community and helps subsidise scholarship placements in our workshops.

Thank God You're Queer and Smatch Game were both shows we were very proud to debut by working with local producers to bring their vision to life. Visit our website for more info!
