Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Saw the musical Once there recently and it was really well done, and the old theatre was lovely too.
    But just one thing... I prepaid for two cocktails ($19 each) and I don't reckon there was a drop of alcohol in either one... won't get caught doing that, next time I'll watch to see what is (and what isn't) getting poured into the plastic cup.

    MC was great. Four comedians - two were very good, two okay. A good night out, good value for the ticket price. Had a good pub meal beforehand.

    The food is average. The show depends on who is on.
    Would Definently eat elsewhere then go see the show next time.

    great laughs and sometimes on Tues you can get surprise guests big names such as Dave Hughes.

    can order meals before the show. Only downfall speakers are really really loud and some tables are directly underneath the speakers so show then becomes difficult to enjoy. So sit away from the speakers or bring ear plugs so you don't walk out with a headache.

    We held our son Jackson's first birthday party here. Everything was fantastic. The communication before the party was great. On the day the staff were very friendly and accommodating and went out their way to make his day special. The food and drinks were amazing, and it was all very affordable. I would definitely recommend this place.

    What a laugh. Was on the bucket list and glad we got to tick it off. All of the acts were hilarious and had their own style.

    It is very hard to review a venue that plays live comedy given your experience is going to vary based on how much you enjoyed the show. So let me cover some basics;

    It's right in the city. You won't have trouble walking up from a number of local train stations and trams also pass nearby.

    The amenities are a little on the small side but are adequate.

    The service has always been lovely and the staff very helpful. In my experience of going to several shows they tend to run on time which is helpful!

    And of course there are a heap of options to eat nearby if you want to extend your evening.

    Our visit to the George Comedy Club in South Melbourne was a memorable one..
    Having ended up at The George Hotel for some drinks with friends, we were informed that there was a FREE Comedy night taking place upstairs.

    After some discussion among the group, we decided to take a chance and see the show. Up some narrow creaky stairs we climbed to a dimly lit little room with a bar running down one side (Excellent news to us, we thought as we wanted more drinks and didn't like our chances of traipsing up the stairs with drinks in hand)

    The room was semi-professionally decked out for comedy.. doorways curtained off and seating arranged in a theatrette style facing a stage and a microphone stand.

    It hadn't started yet, so we awaited the show to begin by getting another round fo drinks from the obliging bar-tender at our almost private bar !

    Soon, the announcement was made that the MC was taking to stage.. and a moment later an animated character cheerfully bounded onto the stage and grabbed the mic..
    Some informal chit-chat with our group soon turned to some very funny moments as we to-froed with the MC trying to embarass him but only for him to embarass us.. this set the tone for the night !

    A number of comedians in quick sucession then took to the stage with varying styles and abilities to get us laughing, but all were quite good and enthusiastic and the different comics made it exciting as we weren't sure who was coming next.
    A Headline act was announced and did quite well with a funny song and some hilarious jokes and dodgy banter with our group.

    A couple more comedians to do some short stints on stage then followed with more excellent laughs and that was it.. we finished our drinks and considered ourselves lucky to have stumbled across such a fun comedy night by chance.

    It runs weekly so we will be back !!

    I was staying in Melbourne for a week and decided to see a comedy show on Sunday because I was leaving the next day.
    The show was great. Clearly, it was new comedians who are trying their best, but it was really fun to watch.
