Bistro A Go Go

Every Thursday for the last couple of years, the Louis Hotel, Lewisham in Sydney has hosted an open mic stand up comedy night. Usually the entire crowd is made up boozing open mic colleagues. All looking for than elusive laugh. Most do their bits to the silence of the room. The pub is pretty old style and I’m sure some Multinational is keeping an out to rip the 1970s guts from the pub. It would a great pity as ambience is one of utterly laid back, no nonsense, take no sh1t old Sydney style hotel (pub). If you’re not from Australia the name ‘Hotel’ can and is mistaken for what the word ‘Hotel’ actually means to the rest of the planet, a hotel is where you stay when travelling or on holiday (vacation). Some pubs (hotels) do offer rooms but that’s generally known as ‘accomodation’. So the open mic Thursday bash is great. Rarely a laugh but hey if you want to get stand up experience you have to learn how to eat sh1t. Sometimes a cohort of woke comics will gasp at usually what I consider a funny comedian. So it takes all sorts. You can get food. Beer. Water. Play pokies. Smoking/vape area out the back next to the gamblers paradise. Street parking. Nevertheless, the open mic comic community is very strong at the Louis Hotel. Called Crown Comedy and open to all funny suckers every Thursday from around 7pm. Good place for a first date. Gives you that ‘quirky’ tag on a date. My open mic stand up career lasted barely 15 months and I sure ate a lot of sh1t at the Louis Hotel. Good fun.

A quiet place for quiet people. Mostly on Thursdays they have musical or comedy nights with happy hour drinks until 7pm.

What a bunch of amazing talents. hilarious and witty a must visit on Thursday night

Karaoke bar is good and interesting
