After years of Melbourne crying out for a decent Friday night gig, Comedy at the Coopers Inn answered our prayers (or agnostic demands). It's not the only excellent Friday night show in the city anymore, but with different line-ups every week showcasing the best stand-ups from Melbourne, interstate and abroad, it's still a damn good way to kick off your weekend.
The pub has great food and a pool table to keep you occupied from knock off until show time. This gig is a short walk from Chinatown too. It’s worth keeping an eye on the room’s Facebook page as they often offer sneaky promo codes for those who want to book ahead. If you’re happy to pay the full bargain price (these acts are more than worth it) you can grab tickets at the door.
