Dirty Angel Comedy’s Aidan Nicolson said RAW Comedy was Australia's biggest and most prestigious open mic comedy competition, giving entrants a platform to try the art form and progress through the heats and finals.
“It tries to find the funniest amateur comedian in Australia,” he said. “If they’ve ever thought about it this is the perfect opportunity. People in the past have used RAW Comedy as their very first gig ever.
“These are all amateur comedians and some of them are doing it for the first time. Most of the people who turn up to watch the show know someone who’s doing it so they’re going to be very supportive. They’re always very warm and appreciative and loud, in a good way.”
The overall winner goes on to be crowned RAW Comedy Champion and perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Warrnambool heat is on February 17 at The Loft. To register go to rawcomedy.com.au
