The Newcomers Program was created to provide new and diverse voices who want to start stand-up an inclusive orientation to the comedy scene. It’s not a joke writing course or a stand-up course but a comprehensive 101 on how to get on stage, perform your first set and get started in your comedy career!
As a participant of the program, you’ll attend a one-day workshop, where you’ll learn the fundamentals of the industry, how to approach getting performance opportunities and ask any questions you have about the scene in general. You’ll also workshop your very own jokes with some of Sydney’s best comedic minds.
Then, the following Friday you’ll perform to a live audience as part of the Showcase show, with a guaranteed welcoming audience and some high-quality snaps of your performance too.
After this program, you’ll be set to head out into the comedy world and start entertaining audiences across the city (and beyond!).
The July program is now open for applications, read below for all the details. EOIs close on Monday 11 July, 5pm.
