The Laugh Resort

We present and nurture comedians by providing performance and development opportunities, incl workshops and pub, festival, theatre & private shows. With alumni including Dave Hughes, Rove McManus, Claire Hooper, and Dave Callan, this is the place you'll see the comedy stars of tomorrow, and where international comedy acts might just drop in when they're in town (Stewart Lee, Tim Minchin). What sta

rted as a bunch of actors and open micers trying their hand at stand-up in the late 1980s became the organisation from which the Perth comedy scene would grow up around. In 1991 The Laugh Resort became a fully fledged Incorporated Association of stand-up comedians - the only one in Australia, that we know of. (If there are others out there in the world, we'd love to connect with you.) As a not-for-profit, we rely on our membership and audiences, with over 90% of ticket sales going directly back to the performers. Your continued support is invaluable. 'Like' The Laugh Resort to receive regular updates about show line-ups and special events. If you're a working comedian in Perth, or just starting out, The Laugh Resort provides advocacy, advice, opportunities and other benefits to its members for an annual membership fee of only $15 each year (contact [email protected] for membership info). Plus, members decide who's in charge by voting or nominating for the board. This truly is a comedy club run by comedians for comedians, which is why it remains the home of Perth Comedy.
