Venues listed below produce the regular comedy shows taking place all year round (or at least regular seasons). Big touring national/international acts often appear in other venues such as city theatres, town halls, or footy/RSL clubs. Check out our Tours page for acts that may be coming to your region.

It doesn’t technically count as a comedy club because the different shows are managed by different people/groups who use the hotel as their venue, but there’s shows on most nights of the week - see separate weeknights for details.
- NB: there are also organisations which run multiple venues on different nights of the week under one Comedy Room name - see the other sections for rooms presented by A-List Entertainment
