Insider knowledge

Local tips

Stuff your mates would tell you.

Book online, because door tickets are $5 more and 60 seats means shows genuinely sell out

Refunds are available up to 24 hours out, and you can pass your ticket to someone else

Wednesday is the cheapest night and the one where you see new material being tested

Front row is fair game for crowd work, so sit further back if that is not your idea of a night out

18+ venue, and the content is adult in both language and theme
