An innovative comedy series has made its highly anticipated return to the Kingston Butter Factory (KBF) in Queensland in 2025, with a mix of aspiring and experienced comics trying out their materials for the chance to perform with comedy legends.
Hosted in the intimate Butterbox Theatre, the much-loved 'Comedy@The Butter Factory' series spotlights a mix of top-tier comedians and fresh talent.
In the weeks leading up to this main event, KBF hosts a 'Comedy Open Mic Night', emceed by a professional comedian, and selects a stand-out amateur comedian to perform at the main stage event.
The first of the 2025 'Comedy@The Butter Factory' shows kicked off in March, with the open mic night stand-out, Chemark Rehder, holding his own alongside the professionals.
Comedian and series host Craig Quartermaine says the event is attracting a lot of attention in the comedy community and there are big things planned for future events.
“We're definitely building something special here. A great reputation in a community like Logan is gold and we're not going to waste this opportunity,” Craig says.
“The Butterbox Theatre at KBF is the perfect space for a comedy night.”
