Dave Thornton & Claire Hooper at Slovenian Club of Melbourne

Friday 19 June 2026

Dave Thornton is a seasoned performer whose shows have been described as ‘devastatingly effective’ (Chortle) and he is back with a brand-new show, focusing on the small things that frustrate him and the large things that get on top of him…. more or less. Maybe you’ve seen him on Sam Pang Tonight, The Cheap Seats, hosting The Big Trip or really stretching his acting chops as Troy in Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix. “An hour of quick wit and cheery anecdotes.” ★★★★ The Age Claire Hooper is the least fun person she knows. She’s used to getting her dopamine from answering emails and getting places on time. But she is gonna do what it takes – joke t-shirts, family glamping, practical jokes, birdwatching, laser tag, rock concerts – to become fun again. A rollercoaster of jokes from an adult who doesn’t want to die thinking; well at least I said no to everything. As seen on The Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention and Claire Hooper’s House of Games. 2025 AACTA Nominee Best Stand Up Comedy Special “Getting out to any comedy gig is a ‘type two’ endeavour, but if it’s Hooper’s, the effort is most certainly worth it.” ★★★★ Chortle Plus - a couple support acts that never fail to get things rolling. This is a big night of comedy! Plus - the great food and drink of HC Catering. We'll have the pizza oven onsite and some special winter time comfort food! Doors open at 6 pm for food and drinks. Kitchen closes at 7:30 to accomodate the 8 pm show time. This is a 18+ event.

Dave Hughes at East Ivanhoe Bowling Club

Thursday 21 May 2026

Dave Hughes is one of Australia’s biggest and best stand-up comedians – and fellow comedians call him ‘the GOAT.’ A household name who’s made sharp wit and larrikin charm his trademark, Hughesy is universally revered by those inside the industry as the comedian’s comedian. His career exploded in 1998 with a legendary debut on Hey Hey It’s Saturday– so good it was the only stand-up spot replayed on the show’s 50th Anniversary Special. From there, he became a breakout star on The Glasshouse, co-founded the iconic Before The Game, delivered unforgettable Hughesy Loses It segments on Rove Live, and was a key pillar in the launch of The Project in 2009, staying for five years. But Dave’s never stopped. He’s hosted Australia’s Got Talent, produced and starred in Hughesy, We Have A Problem, was the only judge to complete all five seasons of Masked Singer Australia, and in 2025 appeared on I’m A Celebrity, Taskmaster Australia, and Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation. His life and comedy were also featured on Australian Story – the most viewed episode of 2025. While dominating TV, Dave simultaneously conquered radio. From launching Nova 100’s breakfast show in 2001 (which ruled ratings for 13 years) to his national drive show and 2DayFM breakfast stint, he’s been a ratings powerhouse for over two decades. Through it all, stand-up remains his true love. He’s a road warrior, selling out theatres nationwide for three decades and earning invitations to perform at Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival. In 2025, Australians voted Dave the 2nd most popular comedian and radio host in the nation – remarkable for someone who’s been essential for almost thirty years. Whether performing for 50 people or millions on TV, Hughesy delivers exactly what audiences come for: big laughs. And he’s never lost the common touch – after every show, he patiently takes photos with fans until the last one has gone home, from 9 year olds to 99 year olds and beyond. Plus we'll have a couple support acts who can do some damage of theirown. And of course, drinks at bowls club prices! This is an 18+ event.
