The Best Comedy Nights Around Perth
We can all use a big, hearty chuckle from time to time – and over the last year, we’ve definitely needed it more than ever. Luckily there are plenty of comedy nights all across Perth where you can have a knee-slapping good time…
Comedy Lounge
WA’s only purpose-built comedy venue, the Comedy Lounge has got to be our first port of call when we’re looking to have a laugh. The intimate space is in the middle of the action in the CBD – so it’s perfect for an after-work giggle or Saturday date night show. Can’t find a date? That’s okay – head along to their weekly Sunday Singles event, a hilarious and ice-breaking night for meeting new people and having a good laugh.
413 Murray street (Upstairs), Perth
Oasis Comedy Club
As the former home of Lazy Susan’s, it was only natural that the upstairs room of the Brisbane Hotel be put to good comedic use again. Only just opening in June, Oasis has already been making waves, with local and interstate comedians selling out shows every weekend – so make sure you get your ticket in advance!
Brisbane Hotel (Upstairs), 292 Beaufort Street, Perth
Leederville Comedy Club
Head upstairs at The Leedy for Leederville Comedy Club‘s weekly nights of laughs at their new Cocktails & Comedy show, kicking off April 6 and running every Thursday from then. Laugh along with some of Perth’s finest funny people while sipping on delectable cocktails like the Ben Distiller, Cherry Seinfeld, Gin Jefferies and our personal fave, the Mango SzubanskI:
742 Newcastle Street, Leederville
Experimental Comedy Club
Grassroots Comedy presents a night of experimental comedy every Tuesday in the hidden surrounds of Convenients Bar in Northbridge. With a mix of experienced comics working on new material and up-and-comers putting their first sets together, it’s a guaranteed night of laughs along with a few surprises! Far more interesting than a night in front of the tele – book your tickets here.
Convenients Bar, 35 Lake St, Northbridge
Fremantle Comedy Factory
Another favourite of the Freo comedy-loving crowd, Fremantle Comedy Factory is sorting out your Thursday nights. The weekly event showcases the best and brightest new talents, with just about anything possible and absolutely anyone welcome to take a punt on the mic themselves.
The Federal Hotel (Upstairs), 23 William Street, Fremantle
Laugh Department
With regular nights in Vic Park, Northbridge and Subi, Laugh Department are making sure that everybody’s able to get in on the laughs. With a fun mix of up-and-comers and established pros, there’s sure to be something for everyone, and they also regularly host charity nights which means laughs for a good cause!
Various, Perth
The Laugh Resort
Perth’s longest-running comedy night, the Laugh Resort hosts a changing lineup every week of Australia’s best comedy talents. As a not-for-profit organisation, these guys are all about supporting local comics, with all their profits going to the comedians featured in their shows and back into the comedy community.
