Katoomba Comedy Club: Clint Paddison and Sallie Don

  • Avalon Restaurant 18 Katoomba Street Katoomba, NSW, 2780 (map)

World-class comedy comes to the Blue Mountains on the first Friday night of each month, when Avalon presents the Katoomba Comedy Club.

Hosted by the audacious and outrageously witty local comedian Amanda Gray, experience our finest home-grown comedy acts - as well as emerging local talent - who’ll make you laugh out loud in the intimate setting of Avalon’s DOWNSTAIRS lounge. 

This week’s headline act is one of Australia’s finest stand-up comedians, Clint Paddison. Winner of the Comedy Cup and Australia Day Comedy Competition, Clint is unique and engaging comedian who has performed all over the world.

Our support act is comedian, actor and writer Sallie Don. Other than regular stand-up gigs around Sydney, Sallie has starred in a few dodgy web-series, and commercials advertising things like soup and insurance.

Sit back, grab yourself a drink from the bar, and laugh yourself silly with a rotating line-up of some of the greatest comedians from around Australia and our own backyard. Or, why not book a table in the dining room and join us for dinner at Avalon Restaurant before the show. 

A cover charge of $20 per person supports the comedians and reserves your seat for the evening. Bookings are essential as there’s only 30 seats per show.

Join us for HAPPY HOUR at the bar 7pm - 8pm | SHOW STARTS 8pm - 10pm (with intermission)
