What Is The Laugh Resort?

Laugh Resort Inc is Australia’s only Incorporated Association of stand-up comedians. They said it couldn’t be done: you can’t have a comedy room run by comedians. They’ll never agree on anything, and they’ll argue and bicker and be silly at meetings.

Admittedly it’s not easy telling a comedian they can’t speak unless they pass a motion through the chair. And, yes, they tend to act up a bit at meetings, but we’ve been doing it since 1991. Successfully!

Why do it?

If you know anything about the comedy/music scene, you’ll realise that there’s a lot of shysters out there who just can’t help ripping people off. So we decided to start a room for comedians, run by comedians.

The Laugh Resort has been running various stand-up comedy rooms in Perth since 1991. The current room is at The Brass Monkey in Northbridge.

What We Do

The Laugh Resort not only runs a regular comedy room, we also:

• have our own P.A. and lighting equipment;

• do comedy benefit nights for charity organizations;

• host a Christmas party for members and their family and friends

• provide free advice to anyone wishing to put on a comedy show at their venue;

• help new performers find their feet by booking them for open-mic spots at The Brass Monkey, and making sure experienced comedians are available to give advice and encouragement.

The Laugh Resort Membership and Committee
The Laugh Resort Inc is an Incorporated Association (link to constitution) with a membership generally between 15 and 40 people. The Laugh Resort Committee is appointed at every AGM and is currently comprised of a President, a Treasurer, a Secretary and four committee members.

The committee meets every four to six weeks, mainly with the purpose of discussing matters to do with the running of the comedy room at the Brass Monkey. The committee employs Dianah Star to manage the room, book the weekly acts, and organise the open-mic slots for new-comers.
