Notes

9 Mitchell Rd, Alexandria. The Chippendale address on listing sites belongs to the operator, Phoenix Central Park, at 49 O'Connor St, a different building. Founded by Judith Neilson; Beau Neilson is creative director. Free to the audience, so there's no door split. Ask about artist fees. The 120 and 150 capacity figures belong to the Chippendale room.
