    Friendlyjordies Presents - Alien Hunter: Saturday 17th of January 7.30pm – 9pm

    Get ready for a comedy show that’s truly out of this world. Friendlyjordies is diving deep into the UFO phenomenon. Not with the tired “anything unidentified that flies is a UFO” bit, but with actual ALIENS. Yes, he genuinely believes the U.S. government is hiding alien spacecraft, and he’s risking over a decade of hard-earned credibility to convince you. Why? Because if it’s true, it’s the coolest thing ever—and not, at least you’ll have a laugh watching him unravel. Age: 18+.

    Ivan Aristeguieta - READY TO MAMBO: Friday 20th March  2026 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM

    MOST OUTSTANDING SHOW NOMINEE – MELBOURNE INT’L COMEDY FESTIVAL, 2021

    After the smash-hit success of All Bangers No Mash, Australia’s favourite Venezuelan is back with a hilarious new show about dancing through tough times, finding joy in chaos and shaking off your worries to a Latino beat.

    Luke Heggie: I Won't Say It Again: Friday 31 July, 8pm

    This show is a compilation of bits, lovingly curated from the last five years. If you don't like that, you can rack off. The exact same people who pay three figures to watch legacy bands playing songs from back when they were happy, will never forgive hearing the same set of words from a comedian. If that's you, you can rack off. There will be one new joke in this show. The rest is old. Most comics have this protocol anyway, while making up a new title. They can rack off too. I could still probably bash all your dads.

    Dave Hughes: Saturday 29 August 2026 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM 

    There is no one else that comes close to the phenomenon that is Dave Hughes. Behind that cooked looking facade is a mind that works like no other.

    Dave has carved out a large place in the Australian cultural landscape for good reason. His take on the world around him is unique, ever changing, and not to be missed. His shows are events that live long in the memory.

    Now more brutally honest than ever, not only is he Australia’s best stand up comedian, he is as good as it gets anywhere on the planet. Book today.

    Blake Pavey: A Bit Scared: Saturday 19th September  2026 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM 

    After racking up over a million followers online and making audiences across the globe laugh until they cry, Blake Pavey is touring Australia with his brand new hour of stand-up ‘A Bit Scared’!

     After finding out his terminal illness isn’t all that terminal anymore…. He’s got a lot more time to think of everything he’s scared of… and the list is long!

    “Paveys standup delicately weaves elements of darkness and light, moving the audience to the brink of tears, before landing a hefty punchline that leaves them in (metaphorical) stitches.” – The Age
