Comedy Lounge

A purpose-built stand-up room upstairs on Murray Street in the Perth CBD, built by John and Jane McAllister — he a former plasterer, she a former hairdresser — who've run comedy in the city since 2004, starting at the Hyde Park Hotel under Werzel Montague. A second club opened in Fremantle in 2023. Line-ups change weekly and run local to international: five-comic showcases, and the Gong Show, where acts get three minutes before the audience gongs them off.
