The Butterfly Club

Established in 1999, the Butterfly Club is a small theatre venue hosting quirky performances from comedy, to cabaret, to burlesque.

With a nightly lineup of between two and eight shows, a weekly changing program, and new shows coming up daily, the Butterfly Club is a great place to see young rising stars, household names, and the odd superstar who misses the feeling of performing to an intimate crowd.

In addition, their bars serve award-winning cocktails in rooms decked out by an enormous collection of kitsch.
