The Search Begins
The Wellington Raw Comedy Quest returns to the capital to find Wellington's funniest face for 2015.
The winner and runner up will compete in the National Raw Comedy Quest final, the biggest comedy competition in New Zealand.
In 2014 at only 18, Wellington student James Malcolm became one of the youngest winners of the National Raw Comedy Quest, beating out the best in country in a sold out final at Q Theatre in Auckland.
With only 6 minutes to impress the judges, this can be the first step on the path to becoming a professional comedian, or it could be the last! Either way, every competitor will have joined a long list of Kiwis vying to become the National Raw Comedy Quest champion.
There are only two heats left in the competition. With only 8 semi-finals place left, this is the last chance for performers to make it.
Six heats, two semifinals, one Wellington final, one National final, $2000 in prize money, one winner. Can Wellington do it again?
All shows start at 8pm
Heats $15/$12
San Fran 171 Cuba St
Remaining heats:
Heat 5 Thursday 02 April – Fringe Bar, with MC Ants Heath
Heat 6 Tuesday 7th April – San Fran, with MC Ben Caldwell
