Hello! After some big old misfires on getting this special recorded over the last couple of years I am again recording my debut special for the first time and this time nothing will go wrong (I hope).

$10k to make this. Omg. How terrifying.
If you'd like to give me a small amount of your money to defray those costs you can do that by buying a ticket.

I'm doing something for this show that I once saw Jacqueline Mifsud do (very funny Melbourne comedian who I should probably have asked about how this worked out before setting up the ticketing page but I didn't) where rather than trying to trick you into buying tickets quickly quick quick! with artificial scarcity and timed discounts and whatnot I'm just putting them on different price tiers and you can pay whatever you want based on
(a) how much spare money you have and
(b) how much you (i) like me or (ii) want to support me / comedy in general

IF YOU ARE A COMEDIAN / POOR PERSON THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME then you can use the discount code "COMEDIAN" for a freebie. You're absolutely welcome to do this and honestly no judgement I have been very constantly broke since I went full-time in comedy 7 years ago.

You can refund the tickets if you find you suddenly can no longer attend, so I'd love for you to book now even if you're not 100% sure if you can make it.

The reason to book in advance is more about making the ticketing page popular so more people find it, and also quelling my quite-often-out-of-control anxiety.

If you've gotten to this page without knowing anything about me
HELLO! I've been performing live comedy for 11+ years, have featured at 50+ festivals worldwide, tour nationally & internationally, and have been tour support for Sam Tallent, Duncan Trussell, He Huang, Brian Posehn, Sami Shah, Joe Mande, "Little" Ester Povitsky, James Donald Forbes McCann & a bunch of others. I'm originally from Perth Western Australia but I've lived all over the world, and have been based in Melbourne with my veterinarian fiancee + various rabbits for the last 5 years. I tour 6 months of the year and perform 5-7 days a week while I'm home.

I'll put the proper marketing stuff at the bottom of this description.

Resting Peach Face Productions presents

Join touring comedian Jez Watts (VIC/WA) as he films his debut special; a best-of standup hour built over the last 10 years. Don't miss your chance to be part of recording this blend of filthy confessional stories, darkly satirical punchlines, and a high-energy, joyous “delivery that transcends the room” (Chortle UK).

A wildly-energetic, charming and engaging performer; true stories from his life weave from tales of bare escape from military prison, a disastrous LSD-fueled Las Vegas wedding, legally changing his name to “Jez White-Rice Supreme,” and a $16,000 debt to his rabbit-obsessed veterinarian fiancée (paid back through stolen groceries and touring on a shoe-string).

Tour support for Sam Tallent (Running The Light), Duncan Trussell (Adventure Time), Brian Posehn (Netflix, The Mandalorian), He Huang (Australia's Got Talent, Thank God You’re Here), James Donald Forbes McCann, Sami Shah (ABC), and loads more. Jez has featured at 50+ festivals worldwide.

★★★★½ ‘The blend of dark, satirical and proper naughty comedy does wonders to bolster his drug-fuelled and sexual encounter stories fittingly, leaving you on the edge of your seat as more outrageous details spill out.’ Fringefeed
★★★★½ Perth Happenings
★★★★ 'Watts is a standout' The Music
