What started as a bunch of actors and open-micers trying their hand at stand-up in the late 80s became the cornerstone Perth’s comedy scene would grow up around.
In 1991 The Laugh Resort became Australia’s only known Incorporated Association for stand-up comedy.
For 25 years it presented a weekly club show, programmed festival stages, main stage theatre and charity galas, relaunching in 2018 with a show in Yagan Square the 3rd Wed each month. Mar-Jan.
As a not-for-profit, the Association relies on the support of its members and audiences.
In turn, it provides advocacy, advice and other benefits to comedy industry members, fostering the best in Perth comedy by providing development and performance opportunities for emerging and established artists and top value entertainment for audiences.
