The Gosford Comedy Club returns on Friday, July 25, putting women front and centre with a firecracker lineup at the Fun Haus Factory.
The monthly event has become a staple on the Aussie comedy circuit, showcasing not only the biggest and boldest touring talent to the Central Coast but also the best mid-career misfits and emerging funny folk.
Every show is a mixed bag of diverse genders, cultures, sexualities, and perspectives – all firing on full absurdist, observational, and occasionally political cylinders.
This month’s headliner is Julia Wilson.
An Aussie comedy queen and ex-bouncer/truckie with a degree in accounting she swears she’ll never use, Wilson is a wild force of nature.
She’s headlined across six continents, survived a lion bite, and made thousands laugh.
If you like your comedy full throttle and your stories slightly terrifying, she’s your woman.
Hosting the night is award-winning comedian Jen Carnovale, whose razor-sharp observational humour and laid-back wit have taken her from Comedy Central to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Joining them are three standouts from Sydney’s thriving scene: Lily Starr, a rising talent known for turning personal mayhem into glorious, sell-out solo shows; Joshua Khoury, a warm and quick-witted comedy curator championing inclusive grassroots laughs through shows like Big Ed’s Comedy; and Mitch Garling, a dry, sharp storyteller whose award-winning short film One Up and work with Fox Sports and Stan Sport prove he’s as comfortable behind the camera as he is behind the mic.
Doors will open at 6pm with $12 cocktails, $6 schooners, and Beau’s Burgers .
The comedy kicks off at 7.30pm.
