Four professional comedians and MC will have locals in stitches as they each perform their own act for 20 minutes.
Australian Comedy Festival MC Steve Hoskins, who has been in the industry for three years, said he was a late bloomer when it came to comedy.
"I dropped out of the corporate world to pursue comedy. It's been a lifelong dream of mine," he said.
"I'm a new dad, and I am in my early 40s so I talk about all of that, it's definitely an observation on my life."
Mr Hoskins said the Australian Comedy Festival had been touring for 18 months to sell out shows across Sydney, and due to the popularity there was high demand to bring it out to Western NSW.
"We'll be performing in Bathurst, Dubbo and Forbes over three nights," he said.
"Our comedy is something like a TV show, it's funny, edgy and relatable."
Mr Hoskins said although the four comedians might not yet be household names, they would certainly be familiar to audiences.
Names on the night include Joe Comino from popular SBS series Housos, Brett Nichols who grew up in Central Western NSW and who has appeared on The Footy Show, JJ Mullard, who Mr Hoskins described as the "the world's oldest teenager" and Matty B, a "philosophical bogan".
Mr Hoskins said the show, with its five different individual acts each provide a different outlook on life.
"People should definitely be prepared to laugh from start to finish," he said.
The show will be held in the theatrette room of the Dubbo RSL Memorial Club.
Tickets for members are $30 and $35 for non-members.
Doors open at 7.30pm, with the show to begin at 8pm.
