The home of live comedy is wrapping up its 27th Anniversary Year with the Grand Final on Oct 26th of the Raw Comedy Quest, our annual search for the Funniest New Comedians of the Year. But before we get to The Grand Final we have to choose the Auckland Finalists and that will be done on Sat 05 & Sat 12 Oct at 10 pm at The Classic.

Join the finest of the new faces, selected from over 100 applicants, performing in a 2-hour showcase hosted by our special guest MC, as our expert comedy judges take on the difficult task of picking a winner .. and a runner up, to claim the prize money ($2500) the glory and promises of further work as a professional comedian.

Launched in 1995, the Raw Comedy Quest is New Zealand’s biggest comedy competition, with up to $2500 in prize money, glory and promises of further work as a professional comedian to be won.

Since it began almost 30 years ago hundreds of Kiwis have made a stand at the Raw Comedy Quest. 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 humankind’s greatest fear – ‘Public Speaking’, with the added expectation of being funny.
