Darwin Comedy Festival | Laugh Lounge | Wheel of Jokes

Ask any comedian and they’ll tell you, writing jokes is hard.

You know what’s harder? When a giant wheel tells you what you have to joke about for two whole minutes. Add on the pressure that the audience have the power to send you off stage, never to return, in a cloud of shame.

That’s exactly the situation we’re putting some of Darwin’s best comedians in when they go up against the Wheel of Jokes. Come see the show that audiences have called “pretty brutal, but too funny”, with one audience member commenting “sometimes you feel like you should help them, but it’s way funnier to not.”

Performance warning

If you come along you may be selected to be one of the judges. You won’t be forced to, but you’ll absolutely want to.
