After a sold-out launch in June, Byron Bay Comedy returns to Paradiso Music Room on Tuesday 28 July with another Rick’s Comedy Review.

The inaugural show filled every seat, with audiences enjoying an intimate night of live stand-up comedy. Grace Hogan kept the energy high as MC, feature comics Dan Sevcik, Odette and Mark Boulton all found plenty of laughs, and Mandy Nolan wrapped up the night with a headline set that had the room roaring.

The July show brings another quality lineup to Byron Bay.

Headlining is Ellen Briggs, a highly regarded stand-up comedian, author and MC who has been performing around Australia and internationally for almost two decades. Known for her warm, relatable style and effortless connection with audiences.

Taking on MC duties is Jacques Barrett, a seasoned stand-up comedian who has performed throughout Australia and internationally. His quick wit and sharp crowd work make him the perfect host for the night.

A lineup of local and regional comedians will round out the night, with feature acts to be announced soon.

Byron Bay Comedy has created a regular home for stand-up comedy in Byron Bay, bringing nationally recognised comedians together with local and regional talent in an intimate monthly comedy room.

With limited seats available, audiences are encouraged to book early once tickets are released.
