Class Clowns

Think you're the funniest kid in the class? Prove it

If you have your classmates in stitches or dominate the dinner table with side-splittingly funny stories, this is the competition for you. All you need to enter is your best material (up to 5 minutes) and the ability to land a joke.

Don't worry if you're a bit out of practice, we've got you covered. Before you hit the stage, you'll have the opportunity to polish your act in a 2-hour comedy workshop run by a professional comedian.

Selected participants will advance to the state finals, with the winners getting the chance to compete in the National Grand Final. You could even win a big cash prize and a workshop package for your school!

Registration for the 2023 competition is now open and it's free to enter, so start putting together your funniest set and get ready to take the stage.

If performing isn't your thing, no problem. You can still enjoy the show by purchasing a ticket and laughing along from the audience.
