Raw Comedy Quest 2011 - Semi Finals

Situations vacant! NZ Comedy Industry seeks stars of the future

Never before in the history of the NZ entertainment scene have so few made a difference to so many. With increasing patronage of local comedy shows, demand from NZ television for new projects and experienced talent, and overseas festivals looking for the next big thing, our local comedy headliners are almost rushed off their feet!

It’s almost 15 years since The Classic opened its doors so the search is on at the home of live comedy in Auckland for the next generation of local comedian, with the staging of the annual Raw Comedy Quest.

Since it began 16 years ago hundreds of Kiwis have made a stand at the Raw Comedy Quest, a highlight of the annual New Zealand International Comedy Festival. Some have gone on to enjoy continued success as part time and full time performers. Many others have discovered that all they are good for is a few jokes at the office party. But most importantly all of them have faced human kind's greatest fear – ‘public speaking’, with the added expectation of being funny.

So once again the mic is ‘open’ at The Classic and ready for some raw comedy, so if you think you’re funny then stand-up and be counted.

The official heats for the Raw Comedy Quest are every Monday from March 7th to April 18th at The Classic. Semi-finals will be held on Sun 1st and Sun 8th May at the Classic with the Grand Final on Sun 15 May at the Comedy Chamber, Auckland Town Hall, the EDGE.

New faces call Scott Blanks on 09-373 4321 to register.
