Hello there.
The Butterfly Club is a small theatre in the heart of Melbourne. We have plenty of shows, award-winning foyer bars, and an enormous collection of kitsch.
Our Shows
SEE ALL
Soft-Butch Show Queen
Mark J Wilson appears in this new performance art work, that fuses musical parody, hyper-masculinity and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Glee Club
No solos, no microphones, no auditions, and no show ponies – just a big group sing of some of the best pop music on the planet.
Rhys Nicholson and a Friend Try New Jokes
So that big comedy festival is fast approaching and all us comedians are frantically trying to get our new shows written. Why not come and watch this process for a small amount of money?
Silent All These Years - The Songs of Tori Amos
Through a series of Tori's most famous songs to some of her more obscure ones Kate Finkelstein pays homage to the courage and genius of Tori Amos.

Fast, furious and funny, The Big HOO-HAA! is Melbourne's longest-running and best-loved weekly impro comedy show. This is a popular show in a tiny theatre: book ahead.
Petty Bitches
Internationally acclaimed award winning comedy cabaret bitches Boo Dwyer and Tash York have combined forces to address the very specific, small and somewhat meaningless issues that make us petty, but better than the rest.
Fab Fridays
Our free weekly piano bar featuring some of Melbourne's best entertainers. Did we mention it's free?
Drawing Straws
Wickedly fun Burlesque Life Drawing on Tuesdays.
Celebrating 20 years!
Join us for a drink, a show, or both. Or several of both.
Established in 1999 the Club is the best place to see young rising stars, household names, and the odd big fancy superstar who misses the feeling of performing to an intimate crowd.
We have between two and eight shows every night, our program changes weekly, new shows come up daily, and it’s perfectly ok to make visiting a habit.
Our bars serve award-winning cocktails in rooms decked out by an enormous collection of kitsch.
Producers, we want your shows.
With over 1100 performances every year, we are always on the lookout for new shows. If you are a producer (or self-produced artist) we’d love to hear from you.
With no minimum hire fee, free rehearsals, free front-of-house, free merch sales, and other assorted perks, the Club is a great place to get your work on stage without breaking the bank.
