Funny Femmes & Thems

Comedy gets a fresh, inclusive twist at Theory Bar in Melbourne’s CBD, where women, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming comedians take center stage — plus one carefully selected dude who absolutely gets the memo.

It’s a cozy, loud, and utterly welcoming space near Parliament Station, perfect for an evening of laughter that doesn’t take itself too seriously but always respects its performers.

Lineups rotate monthly and are announced ahead of time on Instagram @FemmesAndThems.Au — expect a mix of Melbourne favorites, festival circuit regulars, and a few surprise appearances that keep things fresh.

Bookings are essential — seats vanish faster than punchlines in a roast battle. And if you’re feeling spontaneous? We do hold a few tickets at the door — first come, first served, so don’t dawdle.

Pro tip: If you miss out, snag a seat for the next show. You won’t regret it.

This event has evolved from its former name to bring you more comedians, more styles, and more laughter — stand-up, crowdwork, alt-comedy, and musical bits all rolled into one monthly celebration.

Bring your pals. Bring your curiosity. Just don’t bring your stuffy expectations — this is where comedy meets warmth, wit, and wonderful weirdness.
