Funny Femmes and Thems

  • Free
  • Comedy

Once a month, a cosy bar near Parliament Station in Melbourne becomes a very loud safe space.

Funny Femmes and Thems (with one dude for diversity) is a monthly comedy night celebrating women, non-binary and gender-nonconforming comedians – plus one carefully selected dude who understands the assignment.

Lineups are announced before each show on Instagram. Expect Melbourne favourites, festival faces, and the occasional surprise drop-in.

This night is completely free, but bookings are essential.
