COMEDY LOVERS OF LISMORE! As you know, I am taking an indefinite hiatus from running events while I focus on my own solo show….. but comedy is BACK IN TOWN thanks to Odette.net & her new gigs running under ‘Funny Jumbles’.

We are very pleased to be able to support Odette by helping provide sound gear which was so kindly donated to Larry Laughs Loud by Craig Egan & Adelaide Comedy when we lost our own gear in the flood. Forever grateful!x

Comedians supporting comedians is the very best thing - and we wish Odette the very best with these shows and are excited that the scene is ALIVE!!!

(Odette has monthly Open Mics for Lismore Civic & Hotel Metropole Lismore. If anyone has comedy gigs and needs help with sourcing sound gear - get in touch.x)

THIS IS IT!!! The FINAL Larry Laughs Loud Open Mic Comedy night..... ever!!!!!!! This Thursday, 7pm.

We've got a MASSIVE line up of performers on, including a couple of guests from Sydney, so NOTE: We will be starting at 7PM SHARP (instead of the usual 7.30pm).

Great to see some new faces on the stage and in the crowd last night! Big shout out to Torren, our youngest performer to date at age 15 and Sydney's 'Eldest Presley' (Larry!) for joining our crew. And of course Kate Payne as MC. Thanks to everyone who makes these nights happen.

We have ONE more Larry Laughs Loud Open Mic scheduled for 2nd May and it's going to be an absolute monster of a show! With Kyle Legacy (UK) as MC and some special guest appearances, you won't want to miss it. Pop it on your calendar!x

D-day for the Larry Laughs Loud brand - but a widened door of opportunities for Vanessa Larry Mitchell & for local comedy room runners! 💜

I hate posts or statements that start with ‘I regret to inform you….’. I regret nothing. Except that car salesman I shagged after I lost a game pool. That really was the bottom of the barrel.

Times change and life moves on… and I love that.

After 6 years of running Open Mics & line up events in the Northern Rivers, I have decided to hang up the Larry Laughs Loud reigns.

I am still 100% self managed with my solo show (Teardrops on My D***o) which means a lot of work to find venues, line up tour dates, sort contracts and set up marketing etc. I love the business side of comedy, and I love touring my solo show..... more than I can tell ya! The tour will continue.

I have also officially let my Mental Health First Aid Facilitation Accreditation lapse. I was staying accredited as a Plan B for if my solo show didn’t pan out.

My solo show is however (cough, cough!).... panning out.

I know that facilitating that course has made a difference to the lives of so many people, and I am grateful to have been able to deliver it so widely across the country.

But from now on, I'm not doing any jobs that I can’t say ‘f**k' at. I’m 44 years old.

The Larry Laughs Loud Civic Hotel Open Mic will still run THIS THURSDAY and we will have our FINAL Larry Laughs Loud show-down event on 2nd May. Everyone should come.

NOTE: This is NOT the end of the Lismore Civic events nor for the Northern Rivers Comedy Scene. We will announce who is taking over the Civic gigs as soon as we finalise a couple of little details.

Keep supporting local comedy...... and local music, poetry and all things creative..... and I will see you at a gig.x

(Picture is of me in my Black Hyundai Iload with the Larry Laughs Loud branding. I intended to van-life tour in what was dubbed as the 'LLL Fk Machine'..... but soon realised I'm a 4+ star girl and sold it. She was a ripper though.)

How exciting to see Alexandra Hudson's debut show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival last night!!!

Alex has only had a short career in comedy so far, so to see what she has achieved in that time is so impressive. Her show 'Making Lemonade' isn't just funny. It's powerful.

Another creative success story coming out of the Northern Rivers Comedy scene! Well done Alex.x

Another sold out 'Teardrops on My D***o' at last night!!! Cheers to Gemma from Fab Interpreting for your enthusiastic Auslan interpretations & expert comedic timing. We love your work!

And of course Grace Hogan for taking time out from her busy job in marketing at Toyota to warm up the crowds 🔥🔥😂

F**k I love this job 💜

Next stops - Brisbane and Mount Isa Civic Centre next week!

Check this out! is coming to The Levee for a Sunday session! 24th March!

Grace Hogan has been a regular opener for Vanessa Larry Mitchell's Teardrops on My D***o show..... and is carving her own path with a split show with Codie Grimsey! Both hilarious acts - proven by their success as Raw comedy state finalists!

This isn't a Larry Laughs Loud event, but we're excited that the local comedy scene has more to offer!

See you there!

My, My, My Lismore!!! We just have THE BEST little Open Mic Comedy scene here. New faces, new jokes & new people in the crowd. This was one hell of a little gig! Big ups to Sophie Prints who is delightfully dark and bloody hilarious - and a special mention to Stephen Bondor who reluctantly popped his on stage comedy cherry and smashed it with a little ditty.

I had the best night and can't thank you all enough for supporting it!!

Best of luck to those comics who are competing in the Raw comedy comp - smash it!!!!!

Also - shout out to Kylie and the crew at the Civic Hotel Lismore for continuing to support these gigs and to MOKU BISTRO who have taken over the kitchen at the Civic - outstanding first night of service.... the food was DELICIOUS!!! Well done!

Here we go.... back on for 2024! This THURSDAY Open Mic Comedy is back at Lismore Civic..... we've got the hilarious Sophie Prints as MC and the new Japanese bistro will be open!!! 🍱

About Sophie....

Sofie Prints is from the North coast but left in 1989 seeking fame and fortune but selling her poems in Sydney. This didn’t work out. Sofie then bumped along as you do as the years rolled into decades. She Graduated with first class honours from Sydney College of the Arts in 2002 under the tutelage of Lindy Lee which she brags about but nobody cares. Fine Arts didn’t work out either. She now spins her failures into gold like a try hard Rumplestiltskin no one remembers her name. Her shows include Compassion Fatigue, It’s too Bloody Hot, Dead bats in Beef Town, Bugging Out with Goats, Jesus was a r**e baby, Mary’s Abortion and Dead Beats in Bat Town. Those who went died laughing. She went to Edinburgh and Reginald D Hunter put $20 bucks in the bucket and told her she was a thinking Olive Oil. Brendon Burns said she had a great comic mind but he was really pi**ed and then went to rehab. She has been described as acerbic, sardonic and dark.

She has a reverse Midas touch - a relatable, down to earth f**k up …. Super funny!!!!

ENTRY IS FREE. 18+ Recommended.
7.30pm start.
