ENTER CLOSER

We are Enter Closer, a presenting company based in Melbourne, Australia, active since 2010. We develop and maintain business systems for staging live performances.

Our work makes it possible for a small team to present a vast number of shows - every year we stage some 2,000 performances of 250+ shows, many of them new works.

We are inordinately proud that the work of our artists has been recognised by over one hundred Green Room Awards nominations, several Helpmann awards, and a small avalanche of Best in Category wins at major festivals including Best Comedy at Adelaide Fringe 2024.

We have been running our flagship venue The Butterfly Club year-round since acquiring it in 2011, and regularly activate pop-up venues during major festivals such as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Midsumma, and many more.

Stage With Us

EOIs are open to perform in our venues for the 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Most spots are taken, but we still have a couple of last minute spots accommodating for MICF's rolling registration.
