The Best Comedy Rooms in Perth

With over 600 comedians on varying levels, Perth is home to a lively and growing comedy scene! With a range of venues and rooms offering up-and-coming comedians a chance to showcase their talents, purposebuilt comedy rooms, to cabaret style shows, there's quite a lot of entertainment to choose from on any given night.

Good thing is many performers are recognising the trajectory of the scene, and second guess the need to move to the East Coast Comedy Rat Race, having to restart their careers again hoping to have a future in free to air television.

Perth has been a somewhat lucrative and excellent location to foster and nurture talent. Working comics like Xavier Susai, Jon Pinder, Andrew Wolfe, Matt Storer and Simone Springer base themselves in Perth for a very good reason. Plus for Grassroots Comedy's operations, this is closer to Asia and Africa where we've set our sights.

And as long as we're around, this city is going to be a world class hub. The vision is shared across the scene, and if you're visiting Perth, we have all the shows on offer for you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "It is better than any ‘best of’ show at FRINGE" - FringeFeed 2023

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is an experimental night, and not all material hits home first time, but this is what makes this show so special. You feel part of the creative process where the passion these guys have for their art is visceral." - FringeFeed 2022

All hail the Open Mic for professional comedians testing new material! Sure we get reviews during Fringe festival but rest assured we run the Experimental Comedy Club throughout the year!

This is the most fun you'll have on a Tuesday night. It can be an emotional rollercoaster of a night but you'll come out really getting a taste of what it's like for comics to build their jokes up BEFORE you see the final product. Hosted every week by an MC who will be consistently hilarious with their tried and tested gags to keep you amped for the night. This room represents the true spirit of the Perth comedy scene with 30-40 comedians coming to hang out. The vibe is unbelievable and there's no surprises here that we've had acts like Mark Normand, Stephen K Amos, Tom Ballard, Sami Shah, Ivan Aristeguieta, Dave Callan, Luke Kidgell, Lewis Spears, Harley Breen, Waka and Dane Simpson drop in to do spots.

- Comedy Central

Welcome to Grassroots Comedy's flagship room! Hundreds of hours were spent working with the good folks at the Leederville Precinct to assemble the layout, technical components, and ensure this is a world class room. Similar vibe to the Comedy Store in LA's "Main Room". Enjoy acts from International and National touring comics and amazing pro locals who represent the backbone of the Perth comedy scene.

AS A BONUS ONCE A MONTH - Enjoy the Traffic Light Game! Get involved - We have a gameshow segment on our nights! Raise your paddles to decide if the Comedian deserves to get PAID or NOT!

BRUTAL! But also, if they don't get paid, funds get donated to the Black Dog Institute to support mental health research!

These photos don't do it justice. You'll have to see it for yourself. The amount of attention to detail we paid is off the charts. Hell, we even figured out the right floral scent for the room, and wait till the popcorn machine comes and you get that smell of hot butter circulating the air while you tune in on Andrew Wolfe exposing the fallacy of 3rd world problems. Bourgeois indeed, but we promise to try to keep the prices low!
