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
James Harnden: All About Me
Creatures of the Deep
A journey beneath the surface to meet a plethora of beautiful, wild sea creatures who are given a voice to share their unique perspective beneath the waves.
Don’t Be A C***: This Is How
Julia Rorke is a Sydney born kombucha enthusiast who’s always known her destiny: telling people how 2 be less shit.
But she’s never gone pro. Until now.
Joanne McNally: Wine Tamer
Ireland’s brightest new comedian, Joanne McNally hits the stage in Melbourne for the first time, fresh from her sell-out run in Edinburgh, with her hysterical and whip-smart look on life, love and lies we tell ourselves.
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.
Two Hearts
Written by Laura Lethlean and directed by Katie Cawthorne, this is a potent and atmospheric play that asks: can you ever really rid yourself of the people you once loved?
No Smoke No Mirrors
An intriguing evening of magical entertainment from one of Australia’s most unique and accomplished master magicians.
Bedtime Stories for Girls
Framed by a deceptively casual slumber party, this play penetrates the confronting psychological landscape of young female sexual identity.
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.
