All you need to know before the show
1What is this comedy night thing? Will it be funny?
Is Ballarat cold in the Winter?
Yes. We'll always bring you the finest and funniest comedians, so you're sure to be left with a sore face.
2Where is it?
In 2026 we're making a new home in a very old building - The Chapel is the large pointy church on the corner of Neill and MacArthur Streets in Soldiers Hill. You really can't miss it.
3What's the show like?
Our stand-up comedy nights usually feature four or five comedians. We have an MC, two or three support acts and a headliner, with a casual atmosphere and loads of laughs.
Seating is on pews, with some pews cushioned and some not. Every seat has a great view!
4Can I have drinks/snacks in the venue?
Totally! Our pews have very convenient drinks shelves, and our bar stays open throughout the show for your snack and beverage-related needs.
Doors open at 7.30pm, and we recommend getting in early so you can order before the show starts.
Food & Beverages are not included in the ticket price.
5Can I reserve a seat?
Our seating is general admission - first in, best choice of seat!
1Tell me more!
Righto.
Tickets are general admission, so it's first in best dressed.
Doors open at 7.30 and the show will kick off at 8pm. Get in early for the best seats.
We will be asking everyone to turn their phones to silent during the show, and videoing is not permitted.
Also, please note that the material will be rated 18+. Adult themes, expletives, etc.
Heckling - don't even... just don't.
Parking? There is plenty of free street parking around BPAC, but please respect our neighbours and do not block their driveways.
2What if it's raining and cold and my couch looks comfy?
Suck it up Cupcake! You're in Ballarat! Put a coat on and join in the fun. Besides - laughing is good exercise and will warm you up!
3Okay, I'm in... where do I buy tickets again?
Here! Or you can buy them on the door on the night, but just remember - first in best seated!
4Oh, can I bring my whole work group?
Great idea! Yep, we can talk to you about group bookings and fundraising offers directly. Shoot us an email at info@ballaratcat.com.au.
