Your presence helps break the silence and ensures this vital story reaches the stage.
Brown Women Comedy 2026
Brown Women Comedy is back for 2026 Melbourne Comedy festival. Laugh your heart out to an award-winning bold & besharam (shameless) line-up of Indian & South Asian women comedians. No topic is too taboo. These women won’t be holding back. Your parents probably won’t approve as you trauma bond watching thesewomen turn family expectations & life into comedy gold.
Brown Roots Movie Night
Chill with the Brown Roots crew watching Three Idiots and sharing laughs, stories, and good vibes all night long.
Alright, let's be honest—when was the last time you watched 3 Idiots and DIDN'T quote "All izz well" for the next week?
We're launching Brown Roots Collective the only way that makes sense: with Bollywood, samosas (BYOS—Bring Your Own Snacks), and zero judgment.
Rangmann Theatre project
We invite you to join a theatrebased workshop series designed to support open, respectful
conversations about youth mental health. Through guided storytelling and creative activities,
we’ll explore how we can better understand and support young people’s wellbeing in a safe
and inclusive space. No theatre experience needed.
