Class Clowns
The search for Australia’s next teen comedy sensation!
Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s national competition and workshop program, Class Clowns, is back in 2026 to inspire, engage and elevate humorous people aged 14–18. All it takes is 3-5 minutes of original material in any genre – whether it’s stand-up, sketch, solo, group, musical or physical comedy – the possibilities are endless!
Participants take part in a free workshop to fine-tune their acts under the guidance of a professional comedian before taking to the stage. The funniest acts will earn a trip to Melbourne to perform at the National Grand Final, and the chance to win a $1,500 cash prize plus a workshop package for their school.
