SPECIAL EVENT: Cam, Luke & Sian Tell New Jokes

Three of the West's most loved comedians let loose all the juicy new jokes they concocted during 2020's lockdown.

Cameron McLaren, Luke Bolland and Sian Choyce are three of Perth’s favourite and most accomplished comedians.

SPECIAL EVENT: Jon Doust in Conversation with Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd

Witness the homecoming of two funny friends chatting about life, laughs and the latest book by one of these two favourite WA-made comedians.

Jon Doust’s first novel, Boy on a Wire was long-listed for the 2010 Miles Franklin, Australia’s most prestigious literary award. His third, Return Ticket, was temporarily derailed by 2020's lock-down.
Since the book's May release, the time has finally come to celebrate Return Ticket, following To the Highlands to conclude Doust's trilogy: One Boy's Journey to Man.

Join us for an hour (or so) chat between Doust and long-time comedy pal Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd as they delve into life, laughter and of course Doustie's books.

For Wyatt, having gone to make tele on the eastern seaboard, and Doust, hiding out in Albany to be an author, this event marks a long-awaited return to The Laugh Resort - the club Doust was a founding father of and where he started his stand-up comedy career (in 1991).

In his own words: "Back then Jon was not only younger and better looking, he was funnier. Come see the craggy, cranky old man as he does battle with a much funnier, better looking and considerably taller comedian".
It's time to witness the old man face the hard questions.

Jon Doust has been a comedian, journalist, keynote speaker, radio regular, festival organiser, community leader and now author for 187 years.
Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd is a WAAPA graduate, international comedian, singer-songwriter, ARIA winner, writer for The Project, and an old friend of Jon's.

With reduced (socially-distanced) capacity, seating is at unreserved tables of 4 to offer increased personal space. Groups 5+, email thelaughresort(at)gmail.com to reserve adjacent tables.

Limited copies of Return Ticket will be available on the day (thanks to our friends at Planet Books) or secure a copy with your ticket in advance and save 5 bucks off RRP.

WARNING: This book contains talk of dish washing. Not for the lazy-minded.

Tickets from Eventbrite or Facebook: Entry $15 / Entry + Book $40
Bookings highly recommended. Door sales (only if not sold out prior) from 5:30pm.
