The 2025 Sydney Comedy Festival is taking over Bondi Pavilion for five nights of live comedy from Wednesday, May 14 to Sunday, May 18. Set against the iconic backdrop of Bondi Beach, this week-long showcase will transform the Pavilion's Level One Theatre, Seagull Room, Bar and Balcony into a dedicated comedy hub, complete with sets from international stars, rising local talent, and festival favourites. The lineup is stacked with comedy heavyweights, including He Huang, Ivan Aristeguieta, Luke Heggie, and Ian Bagg, along with a selection of hand-picked standouts in the Best of the Fest International and Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase events. Expect sharp wit, belly laughs, and unexpected punchlines from Jess Fuchs, Elouise Eftos, Alex Ward, Nick White, Sophie Duker, and Paul Coulter. Whether you're keen on razor-sharp satire, absurdist antics, or classic observational comedy, the Bondi Pavilion is the place to be. With ticket prices ranging from $24 to $49.90, you can plan the perfect night out with mates. Secure your tickets now and get ready for a week of unmissable performances.
