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
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.
Drawing Straws
Wickedly fun Burlesque Life Drawing on Tuesdays.
Confessions of a Fairy Godmother
Kate Mulqueen used to be a professional fairy, flitting from one birthday party to another, sparkling wand in hand. This show is a fairytale like no other.
With songs, of course.
Resting Switch Face
Navigate the wondrous (and treacherous) world of corporate reception with the terminally bubbly Jess and the wildly unenthused Zoe.
The Big HOO-HAA!
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.
Fab Fridays
Our free weekly piano bar featuring some of Melbourne's best entertainers. Did we mention it's free?
Funny Music Mondays
Comedy rock duo PickUp hosts a new line-up every week. Entry is free and the bar is open throughout. If it’s funny and it’s musical; it’s here.
The War of the Worlds Anniversary broadcast
Innes Lloyd pay tribute to Wells, Welles and Wayne and the iconic and infamous War of the Worlds.
You are a great listener.
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.
