Calling Entries for 2009 Heats Australia-Wide
Australia is entering a long and hilarious Raw-cession this month, as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival declares registrations open across the country for Raw Comedy, Australia s largest and most prestigious open mic comedy competition.
Proudly supported by Triple J
With 59 gigs announced in every capital city and major regional centres across the country, rates of interest in fresh new faces rose a milliony percent.
Undiscovered comic geniuses rushed to www.rawcomedy.com.au to sign up for their chance to follow in the footsteps of past contestants including Peter Helliar, Adam Richard, Dave Callan, Adam Spencer, Tom Gleeson and Chris Lilley, who in 2001 performed a character piece about an obsessive drama teacher called Mister G .
Anyone who has earned less than $500 from performing comedy frankly, pretty mucheveryone at the moment is eligible to try their luck at making it to the National Grand Final and winning a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where fame and fortune awaits, and the food is already depression-quality.
Five minutes of new, original comedy material is all it takes to open up your account. Stand-up, sketch, double and triple acts, musical comedy are all welcome even insolvent mortgage lenders.
So swap the bread-line for a punch-line, and register now! Places in heats are strictly limited and are allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
