Comedy Republic

Comedy Republic is a unique theatre and bar in the heart of Melbourne, where you can see the best live comedy all year round.

Owned and run by comedians, Kyran and Rhys Nicholson and Alex Dyson, Comedy Republic presents some of the biggest names on the scene alongside the brightest breaking talent. Since opening in 2020, they have welcomed over 300 artists to the stage, from homegrown favourites like Celia Pacquola, Tommy Little and Denise Scott to international heavyweights like Daniel Sloss, Matteo Lane and Danny Bhoy. Their stage is home to stand-up, sketch, improv, live podcasts, plays, storytelling and much more.

Comedy Republic's bar is the perfect spot to have a drink - whether you have a ticket or not. Meet here before seeing a show with friends, drop in after work, or take respite from the noisy city below. The bar champions local breweries and distilleries, with a bespoke range of beer, wine and spirits; plus there's a dedicated non-alcoholic menu.
