• Comedy on the Rox’s $5,000 Quest for the Best is in the last few weeks of preliminary finals on Wednesday nights, with the Grand Final taking place in a larger venue this year to avoid disappointment (last year many were turned away). All tickets for Comedy on the Rox events can be purchased through moshtix.
• Here in Sydney the Comedy Court has just finished one $1,500 contest and has gone straight into another: it’s Heat 2 and every week 20 comedians will compete for a shot in this series’ final on December 24th. There’s also a competition for audience members - “In the Witness Box” - where they can strut their comedy stuff and have a chance to win prizes too. They’ve also got a huge New Year’s Eve showcase planned.[bookings]


• The $2,500 Green Faces contest has finished, with the 2008 Winners as follows:
  Winner - Jay Sullivan, Canberra
  2nd Place - Brian Chandler, Sydney
  3rd Place - John Robertson, Perth
  Congratulations to all!


• And of course, it’s very nearly the time for rising comics to register for next year’s Raw Comedy competition. (Check out the Raw Judges’ Dos and Don’ts while you’re there.
