The Great Northern Hotel's famous Backroom is home to Byron Comedy Fest. 8 Big Shows across one weekend.

Tickets sell out to this event so get in early and don't miss out.

Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain. A good laugh reshapes the way we see the world and lightens everything up.

Comedy provides the space to talk about the most provocative current affairs in the most joyful way and this festival celebrates the connectedness between the artist and the audience. The Byron audience are nothing if not engaged and this town thrives on provocative current affairs spun in clever and amusing ways.

Our program this year brings a host of comedians performing their festival shows fresh from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane & Perth.
