The Wellington Raw Comedy Quest is the capital's premier comedy competition. Witness the rising stars in stand up comedy before they hit the big time.

Semifinals - the top 18 performers from the heats battle it out for the 8 spots in the Wellington final.

- 1st semifinal MC'd by Adam Wright.
- 2nd semifinal MC'd by Li'i Alaimoana.

The top two performers are flown to Auckland to compete in the National Raw Comedy Quest Final.

With over $2000 in prize money and national coverage, the Raw Comedy Quest can be the stepping stone to a career in comedy.

Previous Wellington competitors include Wellington favourite James Nokise, Billy T Award winner Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, columnist and Fringe regular Sarah Harpur, and comedy TV writer Sam Smith.

Wellingtonians James Malcolm, Savanna Calton, and Lucy Roche won 2014, 2015 and 2016 National Raw Comedy Quests, can we bring the title back to the capital?
