Get ready for a fresh blast of comedy! FWA is rolling out a brand-new, high-energy format: Half live games, half comedy show!
This isn't your average evening—it's an experimental and interactive show that blends stand-up comedy and outlandish host-led games. You won't just watch the action; you want to become part of it as performers from different disciplines compete in hilarious games. (but if you don't want to join in, that's also fine)
What to Expect on the Night
This show is divided into two halves designed for maximum fun and variety:
Part 1: The Games Night
The evening kicks off with our performers and audience volunteers tackling bizarre, host-led tasks. Watch comedy stars compete in hilarious challenges using strange props and quick wits!
Part 2: Open Mic Comedy
After the break, the focus shifts to pure stand-up. Our open mic is the perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of live comedy, discover emerging talents, and support a movement dedicated to equal representation on the comedy stage.
