Comedy heavyweight Joel Creasey is swinging by Atrium Bar and inviting local rising LGBTQIA+ stand-up stars to claim their time in the spotlight while auditioning for his Camp Comedy show in 2023. If you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and think you have a penchant for tickling people’s funny bones, then this is your moment. Joel has put out a casting call in the hopes of growing diversity and inclusion on the comedy circuit. On Wednesday, August 3, comedy up-and-comers can take the stage alongside Joel for a five-minute set at Atrium Bar at The Star Gold Coast. Budding comedians are encouraged to register online to ensure they don’t miss out.

If you’d rather just sit back, relax and have a laugh, then you’ll be happy to know that the show is completely free to attend. The camp comedy casting call will kick off with opening acts from 7:30 pm before Joel takes the stage at 8:30 pm, and the amateur acts get started from 8:45 pm. While you’re there, be sure to have a nibble from the exclusive menu filled with cheap eats, including $10 pizzas, onion rings, wedges and salt and pepper calamari. Walk-ins are welcome to enjoy this event, though we recommend emailing [email protected] and booking a table if you plan on bringing a few friends.
