TGIF, right? What better way to celebrate the beginning of the weekend than with a hefty dose of live comedy? The Basement at The Arts Centre Gold Coast is a haven dedicated to laughter – every Friday night (and other nights too), the best in the funny biz take to the stage to set the scene for a raucous evening. There’s an ever-rotating list of local, national and international talent

September is an absolute cracker of a month at the Basement. The first week sees the likes of lovable larrakin Daniel Connell hit the stage, followed the next week by crowd favourite Tom Siegert. The good times keep coming with former lawyer turned laugh machine Chris Radburn, professional raconteur Linsday Webb, triple j darling Matt Okine and Aussie comic legends The Umbilical Brothers. Our eyes are watering just thinking about it!

Celebrate Fridays at the Gold Coast best comedy venue, bringing you a raucous evening of local, national and international performers. Groups of six or more can cop a reduced ticket rate of $22, with single tickets going for $25 and an amazing ‘dinner and a show’ package for $79. The comedy can get a bit spicy so it’s over-18s only, folks. To see what’s coming up and book tickets, check out The Arts Centre Gold Coast website.
