Get your funny on!
The Comedy Initiative
The Comedy Initiative is designed to provide comedians with opportunities to develop their craft within the Australian Arts Industry.
With limited opportunities for comedians in the current landscape, initiatives like this are crucial to build the next wave of talent, support emerging and mid-career comedians and to help share new perspectives, making audiences everywhere feel welcome and most importantly, cry (with laughter!).
If you’re a comedian wanting to get involved in our program, sign up to our newsletter here to keep in the loop.

The Emerging Program
The Emerging Program is a way for comedians who have some performing experience (6 months – 1 year) to get to the next stage of their careers, hone their craft and learn invaluable theoretical knowledge from some of Sydney’s most talented artists.
In a one-day workshop followed by one individual mentoring session, you’ll get real-world feedback about your material, stage presence and ask any questions you may have too.
