City of Subiaco Mayor David McMullen said, “This year the City celebrates five years of support for WA Comedy Week.
Once again, we welcome audiences to experience everything Subiaco has to offer. Enjoy a laugh, and also make the most of Subiaco’s vibrant bars and restaurants before or after the show.”
