Melbourne Comedy Festival line up

Head to the Festival Club, where the very finest local and international artists will create nights of diverse comedy, daring one-off performances and insomnia-fueled genius!

Same place, new name. The thumping spiritual heartland of Festival Club is Max Watts — the old Hi-Fi Bar with a fresh lick of paint and newly-sticky carpet. An absolute must for comedy fans and party-goers. THE place to see the latest and greatest comics letting loose! You’ll feel the vibrations all the way up to Swanston Street.
