The Factory Theatre in Marrickville hosts live music and comedy, from international acts to emerging local talent, with a calendar that is busy most nights. A courtyard bar is open for some events, and tickets sell through third-party platforms linked from each show page, so buy from the venue's own listings. Check the program a few weeks ahead, as touring shows can sell out.
