Each year Starts at 60 holds a nationwide search for Australia’s funniest mature-age performer — and 2025 promises to be something truly special.
Finalists are flown to Brisbane to perform at the iconic Sit Down Comedy Club in front of a hugely enthusiastic audience, with the winner enjoying a comedy cruise holiday from Carnival Cruise Line.
Brisbane readers are warmly invited to join the fun at our Grand Final Event on Tuesday 26 August, 2025.
