WA COMEDY ALL-STARS

The WA Comedy All-stars is an exciting new showcase of Western Australia’s best comedians.

It had its premiere performance as part of WA Comedy Week in November 2022 at the Rechabite in Perth to a sold-out a crowd of 300 attendees. What sets the WA Comedy All-stars apart from other east coast OR international touring comedy showcases is that it champions the funniest comedians in our state and connects with WA audiences on a local level.

It’s not simply about coming into a regional town and making one local reference and believing that’s enough. We will have plenty of W.A. specific references throughout the show that everyone can relate to.

We handpick the best comedians from W.A. or W.A. comedians who started their careers here and have since relocated to other states or overseas. In many instances, the WA comedians may have TV, Radio or Online profiles and in other cases, they may just be really great comedians on the verge of “making it”.

But rest assured we will only put together line-ups that are either comparable or better to any of the comedy tours that have previously toured your region.

Our philosophy is that Western Australian comedians are just as good as our interstate or overseas counterparts and we will showcase this fact.

Form and Style

The WA Comedy All-stars is configured in a showcase/gala style format with a comedy MC hosting 3 comedians doing 10-15 minutes and a headline act doing 25 to 30 minutes of their best material (all killer – no filler).

The show runs for 1.5 hours with a 5-10 minute intermission in the middle. This allows the venue to generate additional bar sales and patrons to take a quick bathroom break or breather.

Community Engagement

The community engagement is based upon delivering a performance to these communities that has a uniquely Western Australia feel to it filled with lots of WA-specific references.

We can also ask the comedians to capture some social media content in the form of still photography and video content to profile your region and share it with their followers to increase your cultural reputation.

If it is of interest we could also discuss including a one-hour comedy workshop with one of the comedians in the touring party. It would incur an additional fee. This provides an opportunity to build direct relationships with the community and nurture the comedy skills of any locals seeking to learn the craft.

Comedians are generally very affable and more than willing to have a chat and connect with locals after the show.
