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.
Comedy Festival 2024
Our Melbourne International Comedy Festival program is on sale and it's simply huge.
With a whopping 224 performances and the not-so-humble brag of having staged last year's Most Outstanding show, this is where you'll find the best comedy in town.
