Melbourne International Comedy Festival: Murder Village: An Improvised Whodunnit
12 April @ 9:15 pm - 13 May @ 9:15 pm AEDT

After smash hit sell-out runs in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane, the award-winning festival favourite Murder Village: An Improvised Whodunnit returns to Arts Centre Melbourne for the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Now celebrating a decade of wowing audiences across Australia, Murder Village: An Improvised Whodunnit is a comedic off-the-cuff mystery created in real time by skilled improvisers. The hilarious format is a chance for lovers of crime fiction to immerse themselves in a world of English villages, red herrings, and delightfully suspicious characters.
In Murder Village, the local police inspector may be woefully incompetent but thankfully, there is always an amateur sleuth on hand to sort the red herrings from the tell-tale clues. See if you can solve the crime first… whether you see one show or all of them, no two chapters of this critically acclaimed show are the same!
