Perth’s premier asexual comedian, Nicola Macri, is taking sexy away again by taking umbrage with euphemism when her FRINGE WORLD Comedy Weekly Award winning Single Entendre encores en route to Edinburgh Fringe - in Perth for one night only!. This linguistics fan loves the enigma of language, but some things must be made clear. Sometimes a sausage is just a sausage. And sometimes a gal just wants to use the eggplant emoji to celebrate an excellent vegetable without your filthy giggles. It’s time to strip (non-sexily) comedy of its obsession with dirty wordplay. Bring on the single entendre! This fundraising performance is your final chance to enjoy Nicola's "perfect mix of storytelling, education and hilarious comedy" (Fourth Wall Media) inducing a "constant stream of laughs" (OutInPerth), before the show heads to this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Choose a standard ticket; 'double the love' ticket (entry + donation to the show's Edinburgh travel fund); or, for the less flush, there will be limited 'pay what you can' seats available at the door on the night. You can also donate directly to Nicola's travel fund here. Bookings are recommended as seating's unreserved & shows often do sell out. Plus, there are NO fees AND booking puts you our monthly draw to WIN a $50 food & bevvie voucher from host venue The Shoe Bar & Cafe.

Supported by WA's own Thabo Tshuma who, Zimbabwean born, has turned his conservative upbringing on its head to recently emerge as one of WA's most outrageous and unique comedic voices, with his hilariously unexpected takes on life. Following a sellout 2021 Melbourne Comedy Festival season, already in 2022 Akwasi has delighted audiences in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Jon Doust’s first novel, Boy on a Wire was long-listed for the 2010 Miles Franklin, Australia’s most prestigious literary award. His third, Return Ticket, was temporarily derailed by 2020's lock-down. Since the book's May release, the time has finally come to celebrate Return Ticket, following To the Highlands to conclude Doust's trilogy: One Boy's Journey to Man. Join us for an hour (or so) chat between Doust and long-time comedy pal Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd as they delve into life, laughter and of course Doustie's books. For Wyatt, having gone to make tele on the eastern seaboard, and Doust, hiding out in Albany to be an author, this event marks a long-awaited return to The Laugh Resort - the club Doust was a founding father of and where he started his stand-up comedy career (in 1991). In his own words: "Back then Jon was not only younger and better looking, he was funnier. Come see the craggy, cranky old man as he does battle with a much funnier, better looking and considerably taller comedian". It's time to witness the old man face the hard questions. Jon Doust has been a comedian, journalist, keynote speaker, radio regular, festival organiser, community leader and now author for 187 years. Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd is a WAAPA graduate, international comedian, singer-songwriter, ARIA winner, writer for The Project, and an old friend of Jon's. With reduced (socially-distanced) capacity, seating is at unreserved tables of 4 to offer increased personal space. Groups 5+, email thelaughresort(at)gmail.com to reserve adjacent tables. Limited copies of Return Ticket will be available on the day (thanks to our friends at Planet Books) or secure a copy with your ticket in advance and save 5 bucks off RRP.
