Time to have a good laugh
CAIRNS is set for a year of side-splitting comedy in 2025.

Cairns is about to become Australia’s unofficial comedy capital in 2025, with an all-star lineup of comedians bringing their A-game to town.
Whether you’re a fan of quick wit, outrageous antics, or theatrical comedy chaos, there’s something to tickle every funny bone.
Leading the charge is Frenchy, who will be shaking up CPAC on March 15.
His brand of no-filter, unpredictable humour guarantees a night of wild storytelling and jaw-dropping punchlines. Expect the unexpected – and probably a few things you wish you hadn’t heard.
April sees the return of a comedy staple – the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow – hitting CPAC on April 24. Showcasing a rotating cast of festival favourites and rising stars, this travelling comedic circus is perfect for those who like variety in their laughs.
Arj Barker will bring his signature mix of observational genius and quirky musings to CPAC on May 10. Then, Tanks Arts Centre becomes the comedy hotspot on May 23 with a powerhouse trio: Geraldine Hickey, Tom Ballard and Michael Hing. Three of Australia’s sharpest, most hilarious minds on one stage? Say no more.
On June 14, CPAC will be a laughter epicentre as Jimeoin returns with his effortless charm and down-to-earth hilarity.
His uncanny ability to find comedy in life’s smallest moments makes every show a must-see.
For theatre lovers, New Zealand’s A Slightly Isolated Dog brings their uproarious take on The Trojan War to CPAC, also on June 14.
This high-energy, interactive spectacle reimagines the Greek classic with a madcap, Monty Python-esque twist.
Comedy fans, lock in those dates – 2025 is bringing the laughs to Cairns like never before.
