32 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/Melbourne Melbourne International Comedy Festival sticky thread!

r/Melbourne runs a sticky post* from March 28 - 23 April (every year, supposedly, at least according to our wiki) for comedians and lovers of comedy to discuss, recommend and talk about the various shows and events of the comedy festival.

Are you a performer putting on a show at MICF? Do you have a friend who is and you want to plug their show? Do you love comedy? Then this is the post for you!

Remember all sub and reddit site wide rules still apply (keep it kind, be respectful, remember redditquette)!

We wish luck and laughs to all the comedians hosting shows this year!

Yay comedy!

*we'll post a new sticky if this one gets filled up - take that as a warning or a challenge :)

Real estate/Renting 2 bedroom apartment in Southbank. 4 beds per room. $350/w per bed. Found this on a backpackers Facebook group.

Post image
340 Upvotes

Someone is renting this apartment in Southbank for probably $700/w, and is then subletting it for 350*8 = $2800/w total.

Backpackers and international students are legitimately enquiring for it, as it is impossible to find housing (and it's still cheaper than a hostel).

That's how fucked rental accommodation is in Melbourne right now.

Not On My Smashed Avo Why do charcoal chicken shops close so early?

72 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this? Most of them seem to close somewhere between 7-8pm and will often have a bunch of hungry, disheartened customers around then. It's dinner time and I want some chippies.

Serious News Update on woman who was asking how to disappear to escape DV

427 Upvotes

For those of you who might have been wondering.

Just over a week ago, a woman asked how to disappear. She asked me to update you all on todays date.

She wanted me to specify where we met (Melbourne Magistrates Court) to encourage others to meet safely if they needed it.

She wanted to say thank you to everyone for the help and resources.

She wanted me to tell you she's safe and managed to dig up her burried treasure with all her documents before escape.

I really believe I was the happiest person in the court house that day. She's made my year.

Opinions/advice needed is this a socio economic thing? are these people poor and can't afford the cost to dispose of this properly? is there concessions for the tip? is this just pure unadulterated laziness?
