Sunshine Coast Comedy Gala

Sunshine Coast Comedy Gala

Strap in for an exclusive and hilarious preview of what’s coming your way in November, with the Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival Gala in the Wonderland Spiegeltent.

It’s a world-class evening of stand-up comedy, showcasing some of the most exciting acts and new talent you’ll see at the 2023 Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival.

From the uniquely dark wit of ABC TV’s Craig Quartermaine (“Laugh-out-loud humour and perfect delivery” – Weekend Notes) to the high-energy hilarity of local lad, Ben Knight (“This is clever comedy” – Herald Sun), and the award-winning style of Harley Breen (“Charms the audience with his quick wit and snappy material” – Herald Sun) you’ll be crying with laughter and that’s not even the full line-up…

Rounding out the show we’ve got Mick Neven (“He’s seriously entertaining” – The Age), Emma Zammit (“Emma is a really, really, really, really good comedian” – Jimeoin) and your host for the event is one of the UK’s finest exports, Nicky Wilkinson (“Bright, effervescent and pleasantly filthy” – The Advertiser).

It’s a jam-packed night of laughs from some of the finest in the country.
