Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2026 X Godfrey Hirst
We’re thrilled to return as the Official Carpet & Flooring Partner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the fourth consecutive year. Running from 25 March to 19 April 2026, MICF celebrates its 40th anniversary with almost 800 shows, cementing its reputation as the largest dedicated comedy festival in the world.
Since its humble beginnings in 1987, the festival has grown into a city-wide cultural phenomenon, with thousands of performers taking over stages, bars, theatres and laneways each year. This year’s program celebrates its legacy while looking ahead to the future of comedy.
As a proud festival partner, we’re bringing our flooring solutions to the forefront with custom-designed GH Commercial Designer Jet® installed across selected festival venues - helping create a vibrant first impression for audiences as they step into the comedy-filled atmosphere.
This year we’re also introducing wayfinding runners at select venues. Acting as practical directional signage, these runners help guide all festivalgoers to key areas such as bars, toilets, venue entrances, lifts and other facilities, improving overall accessibility.
With hundreds of shows lighting up Melbourne from 25 March to 19 April, there’s never been a better time to experience the energy of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
