Brisbane Comedy Cellar was created for people who want more than a casual comedy night and less than a distant theatre experience.
Hidden beneath the historic Raven Hotel in West End, the Cellar blends the feel of an underground speakeasy, a live jazz bar, and a world-class comedy room into one unforgettable night. Laughter happens close enough to feel. Every reaction matters. The room itself becomes part of the show.
This is comedy the way it was always meant to be experienced. Up close, personal, and alive - the tone set with live music.
Small rooms create better comedy.
When comedians and musicians only metres away, the energy is sharper, the timing tighter, and the laughs bigger. That is why Brisbane Comedy Cellar has become one of the most talked-about rooms in the country, attracting exceptional performers, surprise drop-ins, and lineups that consistently exceed expectations.
For audiences, that means every seat feels connected to the stage, the show feels spontaneous rather than scripted, and no two nights are ever the same. You are not watching comedy from afar. You are part of it. It is the kind of room people discover once and then keep coming back to.
At Brisbane Comedy Cellar, the experience starts before the first comedian walks on stage with live music at the start, middle and end. Our resident keyboard player is a staple on Friday & Saturday nights, with guest band members popping in from time to time to liven up the night!
Food-to-table service, thoughtfully chosen drinks, and a cellar atmosphere designed to slow time and make the night feel special. It’s a speakeasy meets comedy room vibe - electric with anticipation.
Whether you are here for a date night, a celebration, or a mid-week escape, everything is intentional and considered. Under new management, the vision is simple. Honour what made this room special, raise the standards, and create events people talk about long after they leave. This will be a night you won't forget.
