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.
