Perth’s biggest month of comedy is back!

Running from Monday 20 April to Sunday 17 May 2026, the Perth Comedy Festival takes over venues across the city with a huge lineup of local favourites, international stars and emerging talent. From stand-up and improv to sketch, satire and even musical comedy, it’s a full month of laugh-out-loud shows happening across multiple venues, including:

• Regal Theatre
• Astor Theatre
• Freo.Social
• The Rechabite
• State Theatre Centre of WA

With dozens of shows and something on nearly every night, it’s one of the most popular events on Perth’s calendar. Whether you’re heading along to a headline act, discovering someone new or catching one of the festival’s big gala nights, it’s the kind of event you can dip in and out of – or make a full month of it.
