The home of live comedy wraps up it's 27th Anniversary Year with a Grand Final of the Raw Comedy Quest Season in search of the Funniest New Comedians of the Year

Join the finest of the new faces, selected from over 200 applicants, performing in a 2 hour showcase hosted by our special guest 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, the glory and promises of further work as a professional comedian to be won.

Since it began over 30 years ago hundreds of Kiwi’s 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.
