Comedy at Bunbury

Comedy @ Bunbury crashes into the New Lyric Theatre on Saturday 9 August, bringing a blockbuster stand-up bill that guarantees full-body chuckles. Comedy Lounge regular Evan Willey steers the ship, warming the crowd with whip-smart banter before unleashing five headliners.

Xavier Susai, Singapore-born but Perth powered, skewers cultural quirks with pinpoint timing. UK comedy writer David Hughes—credits on The Project, Mock the Week and Trailer Park Boys—finally swaps the writers’ room for centre stage. Chile’s Jetro Gainza fires off high-octane observations, South West favourite Tait Middleton returns from a huge Melbourne Comedy Festival run brimming with new mischief, and 76-year-old Nola Bliss proves age is no barrier to brutal honesty.

Grassroots Comedy’s travelling showcase has already sold out rooms in Pinjarra, Yanchep, Perth and Geraldton this year; Bunbury is next in the firing line. With the New Lyric’s 200 seats doubling as a live film set, your laughter might just make the final cut.

Doors open 7.00 pm, show 7.30 pm sharp. Swing by Victoria Street for dinner, then settle in for a Saturday night masterclass in hilarity. Tickets are moving fast on Eventbrite—grab yours now before they vanish into the ether and lock in Bunbury’s biggest laugh-fest of 2025.
