Best of the Fest - Tickets

The Best of the Fest is about the funniest acts of the Sydney Comedy Festival in one epic showcase.

Factory Theatre turns into a comedy battlefield as the best acts battle it out for the biggest laughs. Last year's big winner, Rhys Nicholson (with Wil Anderson) is back again!

Past showcases have launched stars like Gabbi Bolt, who won Best Newcomer in 2024. Will you witness the next big thing before they hit the mainstream?

‘If laughter is the best medicine, this show should be covered by Medicare’ (Sydney Morning Herald, 2024). Get your prescription for a night of unstoppable comedy!

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

Celebrate two decades of laughter with the Sydney Comedy Festival's "Best of the Fest" showcase! This one-hour extravaganza at the Factory Theatre Festival Hub brings together a surprise lineup of top local and international comedians, ensuring a unique and side-splitting experience each night. The Factory Theatre in Marrickville is still one of the most important locations for the festival. It has four stages that hold a ton of concerts nightly, and the beer garden in the center is perfect for relaxing before and after all those events. One night you could be catching viral sensations like Nina Oyama or Sam Taunton, the next it’s cult favorites like Daniel Muggleton or Lizzy Hoo. The only guarantee? It’s going to be hilarious.
