HOBART'S FIRST WEEKLY, PROFESSIONAL COMEDY CLUB
Jokers Comedy Club launched in May 2015 as Hobart's first weekly live stand-up comedy club, and apart from a couple of weeks off each Christmas (and a few disruptions thanks to that damn virus), we've brought brilliant line-ups and massive laughs to the Polish Corner in North Hobart every single Wednesday night. Over the years we've also presented a huge range of Special Event shows.

In 2021 we moved further afield and launched Comedy at the Casino, bringing the laughs to the Wrest Point Showroom every Friday night.

The Polish Corner and the Wrest Point Showroom are friendly, welcoming and comfortable. The Polish Corner is a small, intimate venue (COVID-safe capacity: 47) with cabaret seating at tables set for singles and doubles, and the Wrest Point Showroom is a larger venue (COVID-safe capacity: 120) with tables set for six. Both venues have a bar in the performance room and at Wrest Point you can order light meals at the bar for delivery to your table. Unless otherwise stated, all our shows are ADULTS ONLY events. Shows contain coarse language and adult content.
