Perth welcomes a new comedy night, Happy Endings, upstairs at the Leederville Hotel on Sunday nights.

Reinventing the repetitive nature of the Perth Sunday Sessions, Happy Endings will ensure you end your weekend with a release of stand-up comedy.

Check out more details including the line-up for this week at the EnjoyPerth! event page.

There are also comedy nights on Tuesdays(open mic), Fridays (stand up) and Saturdays (Big Hoo Haa) at the Brisbane Hotel/Lazy Susans, Wednesdays at the Brass Monkey and Thursdays at the Charles Hotel/Comedy Lounge.

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humour writers and is adored by Australian audiences. He is the author of the bestsellers Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. His essays appear regularly in Esquire and The New Yorker.

Josh Thomas, you might know him from Channel Ten’s Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation, is performing live at the Octagon Theatre on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October 2009.

Josh has taken his collection of awkward teenage moments and turned pro, talking about his countless first hand “what not to do” experiences in venues around the world. It’s the classic tale of the nerd made good. His endearing humour is tinged with sexual ambiguity, a cheeky tongue and a good dose of neuroses.
After winning the 2005 Raw Comedy competition, Josh went on to pick up the coveted Best Newcomer award at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He has since performed at the Edinburgh, Montreal and Kilkenny Comedy Festivals, and has been a regular on Good News Week.

Ticketing and venue details at the EP! event page. On 23 October there is one show at 7pm and on 24 October a show at 5pm and a show at 7pm.

Comedian Arj Barker returns and performs at Burswood Theatre on 26 and 27 November 2009.

Tender observations, mixed with hearty chunks of sarcasm and delicate slices of irony, smothered in that good ol’ fashioned, unwarranted anger you love. Mmmmmm. That’s quality you can hear. That’s Original Style Bits ‘n Pieces.
Australia’s adopted son of comedy is back by popular demand, after a sell out season at last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival. He will certainly sell out again, so come see him while he still has integrity!

See the EnjoyPerth event pages – 26 November and 27 November – for all the details.
