Melbourne International Comedy Festival: Chris Demos: Chips in the Night
17 April @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEST

Do you spend your nights bathed in blue light, staring at screens and eating chips? Then you deserve a break. So come join me on my potato-ship and we’ll sail across the seven seas of hilarities in this stand-up show about gastroenterologists, double vanities and so many more things.
Please know this show is not nautical themed at all, but there may be an occasional reference to Below Deck.
Chris, a former RAW Comedy Victorian State Finalist and mainstay of the Australian comedy scene, is performing in his fourth Melbourne International Comedy Festival after sell out runs of Casual Luxury in 2022, Legs in the Pool in 2024. and Actually Kinda Hot in 2025.
”Demos is instantly likeable, making an immediate connection with his audience… a comedian on the rise and one to look out for.’ Australian Arts Review
‘A hilariously and viciously observant, radiantly talented storyteller.’ Praise Dionysus
