A Gold Coast Comedy Festival at the Home of the Arts

GC Laughs is more powerful than ever! The Gold Coast’s annual comedy festival is unstoippable in 2025. It’s the freshest, flyest, phattest line up ever - and it’s taking over the whole city March 13 - 23.

Hang loose with us and our main squeeze, partner and primo venue HOTA, Home of the Arts, for a week packed with giggles featuring the crème de la crème of international and national comedy stars.

Comedy at HOTA

We have partnered with the Home of the Arts to bring you a side-splitting week of comedy with international, national and local acts - you'll see some of the biggest names in comedy performing in the Theatre, comedy crushers from all over Australia and abroad packing out Lakeside, and some intimate, hilarious shows taking place in The Basement, Theatre 2 and Studio 1. We couldn't be more excited to bring you an incredible comedy festival at the Gold Coast's best venue for it!

We wouldn't be able to bring you the Gold Coast's biggest week of comedy without our partners. Not just partners, friends. Our best friends. They fill our hands with beers, help us reach new ears and even let us sleep over after shows.
