Remotely Funny

A good laugh, wherever you are.

Rural Australia has a rich vein of comedy genius, but most of the world never gets to appreciate it. Without local comedy clubs or open mics to hone your craft, it’s hard to make a name for yourself in comedy - or even get started.

That’s where Remotely Funny comes in. We’re providing LOLs for the LOL-less and opportunities for regional and remote Aussie comics through livestreamed gigs direct from our loungerooms to yours.

Remotely Funny is funded by the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund, represented in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance Inc. We’re also supported by tips from our generous audience, so if you like what we do and can spare some coins for our virtual hat, we’ll split them between the performers in our next show.

For a taste of what we do, here’s our first show: the Is Music Better Than Sex? comedy debate featuring Kieran McLeod (Ipswich), Manic Mandy from Mackay, Ryan Anderson (Sunshine Coast), Aaqib Merchant (Melbourne), Thomas Sayers (Rockhampton) and Reid Willoughby (Mackay), with Adam Jacobs as special guest and MC.
