About The Queer Comedy Club
Gag Race is a comedy competition from The Queer Comedy Club in which the audience holds the power to judge. Comedians perform their best material, and audience members then score them on their Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent using an app on their phones. A super computer tallies the scores and the winner is crowned entirely on audience votes. The show runs for 60 minutes at Coorie, is suitable for ages 14 and over, and involves audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
The audience scores the comedians — genuinely, from their phones, in real time — which makes the result unpredictable every night. From The Queer Comedy Club, this is a competition format with a distinctive and participatory energy.
