The Penny Black Comedy

The Penny Black

This is your moment.

The night kicks off with an opening act to get the laughs rolling — and then it’s your turn.

• Sign up here to get seats — Get tickets now, sign yourself up at the bar on the night, we have a limited amount of spots so get there early to sign up
• Bring mates — they’ll help fill the room and take the edge off.
• You get 5 minutes(We’ll give you the light at 4 minutes, and we’ll play music at 5 to keep the night moving.)
• Who is this for? First timers, and open mics but you need to bring audience who are not performing to go up

We want this to be a fun, inclusive and welcoming environment. Whether you’ve never done comedy before or you’ve been trying new material, this is the place to do it.

We love first-timers. In fact, many comics who started right here are now regulars on the Melbourne scene. You don’t need polished material — just a willingness to give it a crack and enjoy the ride.

Get in EARLY to get a spot, we will limit and finish the event at 9:30pm!

Info: Bring your friends and family to the venue, make sure to get a good set, grab a tasty bite and a sneaky drink

Info: Sign up sheet at the bar, put your name down and that's the order we will call people out in

Info: A comedian will open the show, and then after their set we will start to bring up the sign ups!

Info: Grab a drink, relax, and prepare your set if you're in the second half
