The 26th annual Bickley Harvest Festival celebrates wine, cider, spirits, and produce in the Bickley, Carmel, and Pickering Brook valleys. The opening weekend features a huge line-up of events, with visitors free to choose their own adventure while hopping on and off the shuttle service. This year, the festival culminates with a landmark closing event, the Harvest Symphony with WASO, a ticketed evening of folk and classical music performed by the WA Symphony Orchestra at Chalet Rigi on May 30, set against sweeping views of the Bickley Valley. Free and ticketed events are available. Details at bickleyharvestfestival.com.

Dave Hughes
His sardonic take on everyday life has made Hughes a giant of Australian comedy. Well known for his stints on radio and appearances on shows like I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here and Taskmaster Australia, this is a great opportunity to see the comedian doing what made him famous — telling jokes. Tickets are $49 from Ticketek. The show is on Saturday May 2, 6:15pm at the Astor Theatre, Mount Lawley.
Tor Snyder
A former staple of the Perth comedy scene, the now Melbourne-based Tor Snyder returns to the West with her show, Tor De Force. Expect sass, silliness, crassness, and charm in equal measure. Tickets are $25 from Ticketek. Performances are on Friday May 8 and 9, 7pm at the Regal Theatre, Subiaco.
Roger Leevers: Retrospective Within The Sea
Artist Roger Leevers showcases work created over 60 years of practice, largely shaped by his relationship with the ocean. The exhibition includes paintings, watercolours, linocuts, and drawings of maritime subjects, historical reflections, and more personal visual inquiries. The event is free and runs from May 8 to 24 at Upstairs at The Room 35 High, Fremantle.
Jael
Blending soulful R&B, funk, and high-energy beats in an unmissable DJ-vocal hybrid set you have to experience. Tickets are $39.90 from Eventbrite. The performance is on Friday May 8, 7pm at The Ice Cream Factory, Northbridge.
