Making comedy in Perth since 1991

The Laugh Resort was incorporated in 1991 by a group of Western Australian comedians to encourage and promote all forms of live comedy entertainment.

For two and a half decades, Perth's longest running comedy club presented a changing weekly lineup of the newest and best local, national and touring comedic talent.

To date it remains Australia’s first and only known Incorporated Association run by and for the comedy industry.

We've been a launching pad for comedians including Dave Callan, Rove, Claire Hooper, Jim Jefferies, Xavier Michelides and Hughesy.

From Aussie legends such as Greg Fleet and Chris Franklin, to international comedy superstars Tim Minchin and Stewart Lee, many a comedy icon has dropped in to grace The Laugh Resort stage.

by the jokes, for the jokes, and nothing but the jokes

The Laugh Resort has been not-for-profit from the beginning.
We bring you great comedy because we love it.

All income generated goes to the comedians who perform in our shows,
and to providing opportunities for Perth comedians for the betterment of Perth Comedy.
