Regular ROFL at Christchurch's dedicated comedy club

With the opening of the Good Times Comedy Club this year, Christchurchers have a dedicated digs for a good guffaw.

The bar’s comedy might be what sucks you in, but the warm vibe and great banter from the bar staff will be what keeps you laughing your way back in.

On top of the special booked gigs, the bar runs a vortex of regular shows you can catch every week. Monday is Fresh Comedy night, an open mic hangout for up-and-comers and Christchurch comedy royalty. Anyone can get up and give it a bash, so it’s your chance to try your stuff with a receptive crowd, or hear experienced comics testing out new material.

For quiz with a twist, check out the Off the Wall Quiz on Thursday nights - it’s the loosest quiz in town. You don’t need to know facts to win, and the markers won’t punish you for not being real smart. There’s a subjective round, and bonus points for everything.

Saturday nights sport two big shows. First up is the pro show, Big Laughs the cream of talent from Christchurch and beyond with the occasional intenational guest. At 10pm The Big Late Show kicks off. It’s late, it’s loose, it’s definitely naughty, and the comics have a bit of fun.

On Sundays the club runs a rotating roster of monthly shows. Depending on which week you drop in, you might catch a Letterman-style Late Night Talk Show, a hilarious DnD-style Swords & Shit adventure, or the rejuvenated Christchurch improv comedy institution No Material Allowed.
