A smile a day… we've found the best places in Perth to laugh your way through the week.
MONDAY Chuckles Comedy, Elephant and Wheelbarrow
Laugh away your start-of-the-week blues on the last Monday of every month, as up to 15 comedians battle it out to see who can keep you in good spirits the longest. The audience 'gongs' the losers off stage until there's one comic standing. 8pm, $10 at door.
TUESDAY Shapiro Tuesdays at Lazy Susan's
Lazy Susan's brings in the best international, local and newbie acts, three hilarious nights a week. Shapiro Tuesdays offer the freshest acts around, from amateurs testing their skill, to tried and true comics experimenting with new material. 8:30pm, $5 at door.

The Causeway is debuting Wednesday comedy nights. With the five-buck entry and a sweet $15 pizza-and-pint deal, you can guarantee an epic night out on just one little red bill. 8:30pm, $5 at door.
THURSDAY The Comedy Lounge at The Charles Hotel
Grab a wine and some dinner, and sit down to enjoy some of the best comics in Australia – and the world – at one of Perth's most classic venues. Until March 12, The Comedy Lounge will be hosting Melbourne International Comedy Festival's RAW stand-up heats. 8pm, $20 at door.
FRIDAY Downstairs at the Maj
If you're looking to lap up more MICF goodness, The Maj will be hosting RAW heats up until mid March. The dim lighting and well-equipped bar makes for
a quintessential comedy experience. Expect heckling. 7:30pm, from $35.68, book via Ticketek.
SATURDAY Little Comedy Lounge, Creatures Next Door
Sometimes after a busy working week, partying just doesn't appeal. Giggles and good brews are guaranteed at Little Comedy Lounge, every Saturday night. 8:30pm, $30 from Ticketek.
