Two actors on stage improvising a scene in front of an audience.
19 Nov – 18 Mar

The Feast

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Every Thursday one act gets the stage for one hour. Sketch, improv, a play, a musical, or something that doesn't fit any of those. The same show doesn't come back.

This is where Melbourne comedians bring the thing they've spent months building, in front of 53 people, on the night they find out whether it works. Some weeks that's a tight hour from performers you've followed for years. Some weeks it's a first outing.

If you want to know exactly what you're getting before you sit down, book Harold Night, the show on before The Feast. The Feast is for the other kind of night out. Check socials for weekly updates.

The theatre is upstairs in a laneway off Bourke Street, with Theory Bar on the ground floor.
