Welcome to the Showbiz Social Club Inc. Web Site    

The ShowBiz Club, Melbourne, is a not-for-profit club for professional performers, presently or in the past associated with the entertainment industry. People from facets of show business,TV, radio, stage, theatre and many music genres, some of Melbourne's premium musicians, singers, and various others all take a night off to socialize. Our emphasis is on socialization and spontaneity.

We meet on the 4th Monday of the month for dinner from 6:30 pm at the Bentleigh Club, Yawla Street, Bentleigh, Melway 68 B11. Performances start at 8:00 pm.

The meal service closes at 8 pm. The room has a grand piano and we supply a drum kit and PA system. We have a whiteboard for performances. Performers and performance orders in the 11 time slots are drawn by lot.

There is a half-way social break, during which a birthday cake is cut, and lucky door prizes are drawn. A jam session often happens at the end of the night.

Membership is restricted to those with an involvement with the entertainment business, and their partners: their attendance on the night bears no charge. For admission, you must be a member or invited by a member.

Guests and Visitors are very welcome but need to be introduced by a club member and pay an entry fee of $5. For an invitation to the club, please email usor phone the Secretary on 9560 7059.
