Perth Comedy Festival 2023 Programme

More than 65 hilarious shows will take over Perth in one of the biggest line-ups of live stand-up the city has seen in recent years.

The month-long event takes over a handful of venues – Riverside Theatre, Perth Concert Hall, Regal Theatre, Chorus Room, Astor Theatre, The Rechabite Hall/Goodwill Club, Planet Royale, and Freo Social.

International heavyweights and comedy festival circuit faves at Perth Comedy Festival in 2023 include David O’Doherty (IRE), Dylan Moran (UK), Danny Bhoy (SCO), Daniel Sloss (SCO), Ismo (FI), Jason Leong (MY), Kumarsutra (SG), Stephen K Amos (UK) and Sara Pascoe (UK).

TikTok and Instagram sensation Troy Hawke, Lebanese/American stand-up comedian Nemr, and interactive, award-winning show ’Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare’ all pop their Perth Comedy Festival cherries, too.

Homegrown heroes like Wil Anderson, ‘The Chaser’’s Charles Firth and ‘The Shovel’’s James Schloeffel team up to present ‘Wankernomics’, and viral comedy sensation Nat’s What I Reckon plays the festival, as do the award-winning Reuben Kaye and one of Australia’s most enduring comedy characters Bob Downe.

Local Perth names include comedian/marriage celebrant Daniel Delby, rising comic star EMO Majok, and deadly funny Indigenous comic Fabian Woods.
