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.
Adelaide Fringe 2025: this Fringe ends a day before the Melbourne International Comedy Festival starts, which means we had to choose between the two (where is a teleporter when you need one?). As a Melbourne company we will go with MICF for 2025, but plan to be back in Adelaide in 2026.
