In a city where venues are increasingly closed on the first day of the week, pub in Woolloomooloo is making Mondays an occasion of their own by introducing a running comedy night: Fitz of Laughter.
The Fitz was awarded a $52,000 grant by the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner to turn their dreams of an ongoing comedy night into a reality. This budget went towards a completely new set-up, including new staging and equipment, a full marketing campaign and an ambitious line-up of talent every Monday.
So far, Fitz of Laughter has hosted some iconic guests and performances, including the second-ever performance of Breaking the Musical (formerly Raygun the Musical). With 4-5 comics on the lineup each Monday night, over 120 comedians have rattled through their best material at the Fitz since Fitz of Laughter began in July 2024.
