Get ready for a weekend of laughter as the Sydney Comedy Festival brings two epic days of comedy to Darling Harbour. On Saturday, Tumbalong Park transforms into an open‑air comedy arena for Gala on the Green, headlined by global superstar Tiffany Haddish and supported by a stacked lineup of international and local favourites. Expect big energy, big laughs, food trucks, festival vibes and one huge night under the city lights.

Then on Sunday, the fun continues with Great Laugh in the Park, a vibrant day created especially for families. Hosted by Jimmy Rees, the event features the Bluey Live Interactive Experience, circus acts, workshops, roving performers, kids’ comedy and plenty of space for little ones to giggle, roam and play.

Gala on the Green

For one massive night, Tumbalong Park turns into an open‑air comedy spectacular as Gala on the Green returns to the Sydney Comedy Festival. Expect a huge stage, great food and drinks, festival vibes and a stacked lineup of global and local comedy stars.

Hosted by Guy Montgomery and headlined by global comedy superstar Tiffany Haddish (Girl’s Trip, Saturday Night Live), this is one unforgettable night of big laughs under the stars.

Great Laugh in the Park

Great Laugh in the Park returns to Tumbalong Park this April with a dedicated Sunday of family fun, the perfect end to the school holidays.

Hosted by Jimmy Rees, the day features live comedy, circus acts, roaming entertainers, workshops, improv and a special appearance from Bluey and Bingo in the Bluey Live Interactive Experience. With food trucks, sweet treats and plenty of space for kids to play, it’s the ultimate family day out.
