The Event

Chuck on your best hi-vis formalwear, because for one night only, Tradie Cards is throwing a comedy night.

The ACE Comedy Night Fundraiser is a night of stand-up and musical comedy from the comedic minds behind Tradie Cards. We will be celebrating tradie culture, Western Sydney, and the national art of cracking reprehensible jokes to ward off the Sunday scaries. Six comedians, one stage, two hours (give or take) and you're home on the couch by nine, because we know you've probably got work tomorrow.

It all takes place at the most ace place in Western Sydney, the Arts & Cultural Exchange (ACE!).

Doors are at 6PM. Show starts at 6:30PM.

There will be a meat tray raffle on the night as well.

What is Tradie Cards?

Tradie Cards is an action-comedy web series set in Western Sydney. Eight episodes, eleven minutes each. It is currently in development with Screen NSW.

A day labourer creates a hit card game based on his tradie coworkers, but when all of Western Sydney signs up to a tournament that will decide who rightfully owns the game, can he protect his creation, his job, and his mates from the fallout?

Tradie Cards will be shot in two distinct styles. When the characters are going about their adventures, it will be stylistically similar to other single camera scripted comedy series. These sections of the show are still going to be goofy and comedic, but intrinsically mired in realism. When the characters are playing the game, the style will shift dramatically. Think Saturday morning cartoons like Yu-Gi-Oh! crossed with Scott Pilgrim vs The World, dropped onto a Western Sydney worksite. Costumes, performances, and dialogue delivery will become more over the top, colours will become more saturated, and characters will be seen as more idealised versions of themselves in these sequences (e.g a character that is balding might have a flowing head of golden locks).

Where Your Money Goes

Every dollar of profit from the night will go towards the series. This means that your ticket does a few things:

It gives us seed money to shoot the series

It gives us a chance to prove to you (our beloved audience) that we can be funny (perhaps incredibly so)

It shows funding bodies like Screen NSW and Screen Australia that there is, in fact, an audience for a show like this

Most importantly - it gives you, the most beautiful prospective ticket-buyer there has ever been, a very fun night out!
