The Quest for the Best heats up: it’s nearly Grand Final time!

25 October 2008 by Viv Smythe No Comments Yet

Last week saw the first Preliminary Final of the 2008 Quest for the Best, Australia’s richest comedy competition ($5000 Grand Prize) at Comedy on the Rox. Congratulations to the first two comics to go through to the November 26th Grand Final, Emo Willis and Amanda Gray!

Who will be the next 10 comics to make the Grand Final line-up? The next four weeks at Comedy on the Rox will tell! (If you want to catch any of the remaining preliminary finals, you can find the links on the Comedy on the Rox website (scroll down).)

But the biggest night is always the Grand Final, isn’t it? Last year’s Quest for the Best Grand Final’s 350-strong audience outgrew the Quest home, the Roxbury Hotel. So this year the Grand Final is on at a larger venue: the 600 seat St Scholastica School Hall down the road in Avenue Road, Glebe. (The Roxbury Hotel has been granted a temporary liquor license to serve alcohol at this event, but as with the regular shows the bar is separate from the performance area, so minors may still attend.) It starts early (6pm) to ensure that it’s all over by 10:30pm.

So, don’t delay (as they say), book today! A lot of people were disappointed last year, make sure it doesn’t happen to you this year.
