By 2006 the club was Melbourne's only full-time cabaret venue.The Butterfly Club has presented more than 1,000 new works, with performers including Tim Minchin and Eddie Perfect. Under the stewardship of David Read and Neville Sice, over eight years, the venue became sustainable using an arts model which doesn't rely on public subsidy.The club, together with the Australian National Academy of Music, has played a role in developing the Melbourne Cabaret Festival. In January 2011. The Butterfly Club again changed hands to new director, Simone Pulga.In December 2012, The Butterfly Club announced a planned relocation to a building on Carson Pl.
