Laugh Out Loud: The 2025 Perth Comedy Festival Brings the Fun

Get ready to laugh, Perth! The 2025 Perth Comedy Festival is back and bigger than ever, running from 21 April to 18 May across some of the city’s most iconic venues. Whether you're into sharp satire, clever storytelling, or pure silliness, this year’s festival has something for every comedy fan.

This year’s lineup is a showstopper, featuring over 70 performances and a stellar mix of comedic talent. International favourites like Adam Kay, Rhys Darby, Tom Allen, Sara Pascoe and Nish Kumar are all set to bring their unique humour to Perth stages. Their world-renowned shows promise big laughs and unforgettable nights.

Closer to home, the festival continues to support and celebrate local talent. Special events such as the Perth Comedy Festival Gala, 100% Scottish Comedy, and the WA Comedy All-Stars showcase the incredible performers emerging from our own backyard. It’s a fantastic chance to discover fresh voices and support the local comedy scene.

Venues for the festival include crowd favourites like the Regal Theatre, Astor Theatre, The Rechabite and Freo.Social, offering audiences a range of settings to enjoy the fun. Tickets are already on sale through the official Perth Comedy Festival website and authorised partners, so it’s a good idea to book early — some of these acts will sell out fast.

With its diverse lineup and electric atmosphere, the Perth Comedy Festival is a highlight on the city’s cultural calendar. Whether you’re going out with friends, organising a date night, or simply in need of a good laugh, this is your chance to see some of the best in the business do what they do best — make us laugh.
