WOW Australia is back for 2025 and coming to Gladstone!

The brightest, boldest and baddest babes of comedy come together to present a knock out show of satirical mirth and systemic change, breakdowns and breastmilk, love, laughter and lament!

There's a fire in the belly of the women comedians headlining this year, with the musical stylings of International mega star Jackie Loeb, comedy mum on a mission Bron Lewis, the wild sass of Butchulla, Mununjhali and Woppaburra woman Janty Blair, the rising star of Singaporean born Ting Lim, and the powerhouse of Alexandra Hudson, centring disability on stage to use comedy to create meaningful change and MC, Mum of 5, social activist and bloody good sort Mandy Nolan.

These are women from the margins of every neighborhood, coming to the table, not to set it with dinner, but set it on fire! Who knows, while old men seem hellbent on taking us to war, maybe Funny Women will save the World!

Founded in 2010, more than 150 WOW Festivals and events have now taken place in 71 locations across the world. The WOW organisers in each location ensure the content is created by the local community for the local community. While each festival is different in its own wonderful, unique way, there are elements that stay consistent at every WOW Festival wherever you are in the world; from the WOW Marketplace to Under 10's Feminist Corners.

In the past 15 years, the WOW movement has grown from its London beginnings to find homes everywhere from Beijing and Kathmandu to Baltimore and Brisbane. To date, WOW has reached more than five million people from thousands of women in favelas at WOW Rio to Territory women at WOW Katherine.
