The Coast’s hottest and freshest stand-up comedy club presents an outstanding line-up of professional and emerging comedians each Friday night.

This week features resident funny man from Sunday Night with Matty Johns and The Back Page, Andrew Barnett, who also co-hosted The Night Watchmen, The Professor’s Late Hit and Narrow World of Sports.

Barnett has been performing as a stand-up since 2010 when he was a NSW Finalist in Raw Comedy.

He is a crowd favourite, whose relaxed style belies a razor-sharp wit.
