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.

Look who's talking in December;
