The capital's premier comedy competition. Witness the rising stars in stand-up comedy before they hit the big time.
The stepping stone for many New Zealand comedians, the Raw Comedy Quest has brought forth new comedy talent from across the country, with heats in Christchurch, Wellington, Palmerston North and Auckland.
From six heats, the top 24 go to the semifinals, and the top 10 to the Wellington final. Wellington finalist Luke Tawi won the 2023 National Raw Comedy Quest, can the capital do it again?
