Right in the middle of Wellington's bohemian Cuba Street sector, the Fringe Bar is an ever-changing entertainment venue, offering everything from stand-up to karaoke to film.

This flexible entertainment venue is open to all kinds of great acts, and every night offers something new. Check out the website, or just stop in, to see what's going on. The Fringe Bar has hosted everything from comedy acts (including stand up, sketch comedy and improv) as well as theatre, poetry readings, live music, film screenings and open acoustic nights. And if you have your own idea for an event, talk to the staff. The Fringe Bar is available as a venue for private functions.

The Wellington Improvisation Troupe (the aptly acronymed WIT) performs at the Fringe Bar every Wednesday, and that bar has also played host to many of the shows in the annual Fringe Festival. If you're looking for quirky, alternative performances, The Fringe Bar is the place to be. And don't forget to stay on past the show, when the karaoke machine gets turned on.
