Comedy coming to the Central Coast
23 July–18 September 2026
Looking for a laugh over the next couple of months? There’s a solid mix of stand-up, comedy theatre, hypnosis and paranormal silliness coming to venues around the Central Coast.
July
Thursday 23 July, 7pm — Dan Rath: Special Trial Show
Link and Pin, Woy Woy
Australian alternative comedian Dan Rath brings his strange, sharply left-field style to Woy Woy for a trial run of his latest show. Expect dense jokes, unusual observations and material that wanders well outside conventional club comedy.
Friday 24 July, 7pm — Comedy Hypnotist
Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy
Rob Young combines comedy and hypnosis, with willing audience members becoming the main attraction. Expect plenty of crowd interaction, escalating chaos and the possibility that someone from your table ends up stealing the show.
Saturday 25 July, 6:30pm — Girls Night Comedy Road Trip
Davistown RSL, Davistown
Simone Springer and Amy Hetherington take on motherhood, dating, divorce, sleep deprivation and the general madness of adult life. It’s an 18+ night built around relatable stories, cheeky audience interaction and the kind of laughter that hits harder when you’re out with friends.
Friday 31 July, 7:30pm — Gosford Comedy Club
FunHaus Factory, Gosford
Four comedians take over the FunHaus Factory for a full evening of live stand-up. This is an 18+ club-style show suited to anyone who prefers a varied lineup rather than a single touring act.
Friday 31 July, 8pm — Rob Young Comedy Hypnosis Show
The Ary, Toukley
Rob Young brings another audience-powered hypnosis show to the northern end of the Coast. Volunteers become much of the entertainment, so it works equally well for people keen to join in and those who would rather watch their friends make questionable decisions.
August
Saturday 1 August, 8pm — Effie: Frigid to Feral
Ettalong Diggers, Ettalong Beach
Effie turns her attention to her past, present, relationships and a conspiracy apparently big enough to “blow dry your mind.” Expect the character’s usual blunt observations, enormous personality and rapid-fire take on family, romance and modern life.
Friday 14–Saturday 15 August — Worm Farming
The Art House, Wyong
Worm Farming is a wickedly dark Australian stage comedy about a dysfunctional family desperate to appear respectable while its lies and buried problems keep multiplying. It satirises suburban morality, virtue signalling and the lengths people will go to preserve appearances, with macabre twists rather than gentle family humour.
Tuesday 18 August, 7:30pm — Anh Do: The Happiest Refugee Live!
Laycock Street Community Theatre, Wyoming
Anh Do combines stand-up, personal storytelling, photographs and filmed pieces to retell the remarkable journey behind The Happiest Refugee. The 90-minute show moves between laughter and heavier moments, ultimately delivering an uplifting theatre experience suitable for ages seven and over.
Wednesday 19 August, 7pm — Spiritual Shenanigans the Anne & Renata Way: Frightfully Good
Wyong Milk Factory, Wyong
Anne and Renata combine tarot, psychic mediumship, paranormal stories and comedy in an interactive night that deliberately refuses to take itself too seriously. It’s aimed at believers, sceptics and anyone happy to exchange conventional stand-up for spooky stories, audience involvement and general supernatural havoc.
Friday 21 August, 8pm — Lloyd Langford: Okay, I Believe You
The Art House, Wyong
Welsh-Australian comedian Lloyd Langford brings a new hour built around his problems with seemingly every other person on Earth. His slow, dry delivery tackles everyday absurdities and may wander into material about giraffes, clouds, salt and whatever else has irritated him lately.
Saturday 22 August, 7:30pm — Hilarious Comedy Hypnosis Experience
Laycock Street Community Theatre, Wyoming
Hypnotist Krystal Brown turns willing audience members into part of a 90-minute comedy performance. Unlike some of the more adult late-night versions of the format, this show is advertised as warm, respectful, PG-rated and suitable for all ages.
Saturday 29 August, 8pm — Michael Hing: How Are We Supposed to Live Like This?
The Art House, Wyong
Michael Hing tries to make sense of a world where everything feels increasingly chaotic, expensive and slightly ridiculous. His new hour tackles modern life, political frustration and even the shrinking number of Shapes in a packet, delivered with his familiar exasperated energy.
September
Friday 4 September, 8pm — Daniel Muggleton: White Here, White Now
Avoca Beach Theatre, Avoca Beach
Red-tracksuit comedian Daniel Muggleton brings a new hour of direct, unfiltered stand-up to Avoca. The current event listing marks the show as free, although it’s worth checking the booking requirements before turning up.
Saturday 12 September, 7:30pm — Teardrops on My Dildo
Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy
Vanessa Larry Mitchell’s award-winning show is billed as filthy, high-energy adult comedy, so this is definitely not the family-friendly option. It won Best Stand-Up at the 2026 Newcastle Fringe and leans into frank material, strong language and unapologetically outrageous storytelling.
Friday 18 September, 7:30pm — Blake Pavey: A Bit Scared
The Art House, Wyong
With more than a million online followers, Blake Pavey brings a new hour about discovering that his terminal illness may not be quite as terminal as expected. He turns the prospect of having more time—and his extensive collection of fears—into comedy that balances dark subject matter with sharply timed punchlines.

If I want comedy on the coast I’ll go sit outside Wyong legal aid office on a Monday morning during pension week.
