Get ready to laugh! Perth Comedy Festival returns from 19 April – 16 May 2027, bringing four weeks of stand-up, big personalities and plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy live comedy.
And we’re kicking things off with our first round of comedians, two spectacular Festival Gala nights and plenty more still to come!
First up: Meet the comedians!
We’re starting strong, with a stellar mix of international favourites, homegrown legends and some of the sharpest voices in comedy.
Jimeoin, Connor Burns, Denise Scott, Marc Lottering, Daniel Muggleton, Luke Heggie and 100% Scottish Comedy are among the first names joining the 2027 line-up.
(And that’s just the beginning.)
Two spectacular Festival Galas!
Not sure where to start? The Perth Comedy Festival Galas are the perfect introduction to the Festival, bringing together an extraordinary mix of comedy talent for an unforgettable night of laughs.
Featuring established stars, Festival favourites, exciting newcomers and a few surprises, each Gala offers a taste of the Festival’s best in one spectacular show. Take you pick between Wednesdays 28 April and 12 May 2027 (or go to both!)
Whether you’re discovering comedy for the first time or you’re a seasoned Festival regular, there’s no better way to sample what’s on offer.
And we’re only getting started…
