Melbourne
There's stand-up featuring Melbourne’s best-known funny people most nights of the week here. If you like to live dangerously, Tuesday's when professional comedians try out new material. Admission prices vary.
Dinner – although not great – is usually available the hour before a show and features pub-grub meals, like fish and chips, chicken parmigiana and vegetarian lasagne.
