This is a stand-up comedy education session for those keen to learn more about the RAW Comedy heat in Ballarat on Saturday 21 February.

It will be hosted by Luke Morris, who has judged and produced RAW Comedy events since 2022 and who has performed at comedy festivals around Australia.

There'll be tips on structuring a 5min routine, stage presence, and clues on what the judges look for in a good comedy set during RAW Comedy, with advice from past winners like Matt Stewart, Danielle Walker and Prue Blake.

There's a lot of great resources for all of these topics on the RAW Comedy website here: RAW Comedy

However if you think you'll benefit from hearing rather than reading, or would like some hands-on advice, then this get together is for you.

We'll also be updating on what the Ballarat Performing Arts Community has planned for comedy in 2026.

So plenty to squeeze into the hour if you'd like to come.
