Frequently asked questions

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

The Beech Avenue Social Club is wheelchair accessible by ramp and has accessible toilets. The doors are not power assisted so we have the ticket table by the door and are ready to open it for anyone needing assistance. There are steps in the venue to the lower level, but a ramp gives access.

Do you have a COVID policy?

We do not require masks but we do ask guests to stay at home if they have symptoms of COVID or other illnesses that could endanger our immunocompromised guests. Please show up in ways that feel safe and respectful.

Will the comedy be offensive?

Our comedians will not knowingly be racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, ageist, classist, xenophobic or religiously bigoted. We will, undoubtedly make fun of many of those tropes and systems of oppression. This is sometimes called punching up. We will not punch down.

What do I do if a comedian is offensive?

If you feel an act has strayed into any of the isms or punched down on an oppressed or marginalised group, let Mona Mae know and she will enter into an educational dialogue with the performer.

Can I get a spot on stage?

Yes!!! If you come from a diverse background and have a funny routine, please apply for a future show: https://forms.gle/VgJZobQga77JK4FP7

Is Beech Avenue Social Club a licensed premises?

Yes. And it’s not city centre prices either.

Does the venue serve food?

Beech Avenue Social Club does serve food, but we are waiting to confirm if the kitchen will be open before and/or during the shows.

Do we really need a comedy night that centres diverse voices?

Yes! The comedy world is dominated by straight white cis-males, and though we love straight white men and some of them are even our best friends, we want to platform diverse voices...give them some air time while also building an intersectional community of solidarity and support.

But why?

Organised by

The comedy world is often dominated by white straight cis-men and those of us from diverse backgrounds can be overlooked or minimally included as a nod to DEI. This comedy night prioritises diversity and de-centres straight white cis male voices....though we may occasionally have a token straight white man just for a bit of sportr!

The venue is an inclusive space where racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ageism, ableism, or other isms are not tolerated. We may, of course, want to make light of our own unique circumstances but never at the expense of others. We will also only ever punch up in our comedy....never punching down. We strive to support each other and the work of other diverse comedians.
