The Classic Comedy All-Stars: 2023!

Welcome to The Classic - NZ's World class 'Home of Live Comedy' for over 25 years.
And our happy place

Every Friday and Saturday night at 7:30pm it's the main event of the week featuring our favourite headliners, along with the rising stars and the pick of our new faces. There is a fresh line-up every week which you can check the details of on our website if they are not already listed here.

These shows are regularly selling out in advance or have limited door sales - but we recommend our L8 Show at 10pm as an alternative.

The Classic is a world-class comedy club, according to all our international friends and customers. Fully licensed and seated cabaret-style with a full range of beverages and a snack menu.

This is the ideal night out for family, friends, the social network or your workmates or office party.
Please note that the 7:30 pm show often sells out in advance on Eventfinda. If you miss out there is always the 10 pm L8 Show offering an alternative on the weekend.
