iD Comedy / Stand Up Sydney has been igniting laughter across the city for over eight years, cementing itself as one of the most dynamic and resilient forces in Australia’s live comedy scene. Founded with a comedian-first mentality, we’ve built a platform that champions both top-tier professional talent and the next generation of rising stars.

Through the highs and lows, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Stand Up Sydney stood tall—supporting local comedians, keeping laughter alive, and helping sustain Sydney’s hospitality industry when it needed it most.
From packed-out club nights to spontaneous pop-up shows, we’ve brought stages to life in bars, theatres, rooftops, and basements all over the city.

Our shows feature the best comedians in Australia and around the world, while also serving as a springboard for fresh, up-and-coming talent looking to break through. We’re not just running shows—we’re building a community where comics grow, connect, and thrive.

Whether you're a fan, a venue, or a performer, Stand Up Sydney is comedy done right: independent, innovative, and always putting the artists first.
