Roth's Comedy Club

At Roth's, comedy isn’t just for the pros - it’s for the brave, the curious, and the ‘I reckon I’m funny after two wines’ crowd. Roth's Comedy Club: Amateur Hour is our open-mic night where absolutely anyone can step on stage and give stand-up a crack. Whether you're a first timer, a bucket-lister, a seasoned pub-storyteller, or a comedian testing new material — this is the safest comedy bar in town to bomb gloriously or accidentally kill. Expect a packed room, supportive laughs, and the kind of unpredictable energy that only happens when nobody knows what’s coming next.

Join us for a casual, welcoming open-mic comedy night, designed for beginners and hobbyists, not polished touring acts. Think less 'Netflix special' and more 'mates at the bar but with a microphone'. This is a great opportunity for any aspiring comedian or those interested in the comedy scene. The goal is to create a stage where trying matters more than succeeding, making it the perfect environment to explore your comedic talents.

Supportive, forgiving, and fun. At Amateur Hour, the audience becomes part of the experience; people genuinely want you to do well. Even when you don’t, that’s half the entertainment. Bombing here is a rite of passage, not a failure, but rather an opportunity to grow and improve in the world of comedy.

Every great comedian, started somewhere—maybe it will be in a bar with a slightly too-bright spotlight and a crowd sipping wine. We want to give Mudgee a stage: to try something new, to be a little brave, and to laugh at each other (kindly), where everyone can enjoy the spirit of comedy.
