The venue still maintains a lot of its original characteristics including balcony seating, a generous foyer and an elegant staircase. The Comedy Theatre has seating for up to 1,000 patrons over two levels. The venue underwent a significant refurbishment in 2017 which included new seats, new air conditioning and some upgraded amenities on the dress circle level. As well as playing host to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival each year, audiences can enjoy a diverse range of theatre and live entertainment.
