Cardboard Comedy Club is a dedicated stand-up comedy venue on level 1 of 361 New North Road in Kingsland, Auckland. The showroom is built from cardboard, and the club says it was set up as a proper comedy room, so comedians can test new material away from bar shows. It seats about 40 people, and the club describes it as intimate and cosy.
The club runs shows every week. Its format includes a fight-night style comedy battle, where the audience votes for the winner with help from two celebrity guest judges, and a Friday open mic that is free to attend and features both established and new comedians. There is a Mandarin-language open mic, and Sunday shows at 4.30pm and 7pm. Door sales depend on availability, so the club asks people to book tickets in advance. The club also holds charity comedy nights, with proceeds going to the Cancer Society.
