Wagga Comedy Fest is once again bringing laughs, light, and happiness into the deepest, darkest depths of a Wagga Wagga winter. This weekend, the Civic Theatre precinct is comedy central with over 20 performances happening across three venues.
The long weekend comedy festival has become an event on the national comedy calendar, attracting some of the country’s most successful comedians to our city, whilst also offering opportunities for emerging local talent to gain skills and perform on stage.
The line-up for the festival is carefully programmed, with each show selected specifically to suit our local audiences, showcasing big names and lesser-known comedians who have been seeing success at other comedy festivals around the country.
Civic Theatre Manager, Isobel MacCallum said “I really encourage locals to get tickets to see one of the comedians they haven’t seen before.
“The amazing talents of comedians like David Quirk, Jude Perl and Otto & Astrid have been selling out shows at Melbourne Comedy Festival and taking their shows internationally. So, it really is amazing that that level of talent is part of our festival program.”
This weekend, the headliner shows like Tommy Little and Lano & Woodley have sold well, with Tommy Little’s show completely sold out.
The Laugh Lounge marquee is also open from 5pm with food and drink vendors and live music. This heated marquee is open to all, even if you don’t have a ticket to one of the shows.
Wagga Comedy Fest is taking place this weekend 8 – 11 June. Whilst some shows have sold out, tickets remain for most performances and will be available at the door.
