2016: A year in review

Here's a review of what ClubComm got up to in 2016...

• We kicked off the year by supporting Sydney's live music scene at the FBi SMACS.
• Everyone loves a free festival, so we went to Hyde Park for the Spectrum Now Festival's opening night.
• A night of Karaoke in Darling Harbour kept us in tune back in March.
• This was followed by a day out for the foodies at the Tella Ball Dessert Bar.
• A highlight of the year would have to the the r-EU-nion of overseas commas in London.
• And finally, we visited Manly for some beach times and Daniel San action.

Stay up to date with ClubComm events here, and don't forget to suggest your own. 

Bring on 2017!

ClubComm: Where networkers network and socialites socialise.

Entering it's eighth year of existence, ClubComm is the exclusively inclusive social club that wants to bring your online network to life. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram are all fantastic tools for building great professional, personal and follower-based networks in cyberspace. We just want to facilitate those connections in real life.

How? 

1. By introducing you to our #Commas and our #CommaCollective of talent and services. If you know a bit about our people, you're more inclined to meet them right? Right!

2. By inviting you to #ClubCommSocials and #Commtiki regional and international trips tailored to the various interests of our members.

3. By giving you a #CommaKeytag that will score you discounts at Comma-endorsed businesses across Sydney, encouraging you to engage with our #ClubCommunity.

Not your average network eh? So comm' see what we're all about in 2015.

ClubComm: Sydney's Original Social Club

After almost seven years, ClubComm is still proud to be Sydney's original social club of "Commas" who recommend activities and attend events organised by other Commas, expanding personal and professional networks each week.

Founded in 2007, we've delivered over 50 unique events, ranging from club nights and pub crawls, to picnics and beach days. We also launched a series of "Commtiki" tours within Australia and internationally. 

As the ClubCommunity grows, Comma membership keytags can score you discounts at Comma endorsed cafes, bars and for other services. By supporting local businesses and promoting the skills of members, the club hopes to foster a creative "Comma Collective" of talent.

So whether you've been to an event, are a proud owner of a personalised Comma keytag or are simply interested in this Commcept, like ClubComm on Facebook, suggest an idea, hashtag us on Instagram and Twitter, or just comm' along to an event. 

Comma Collective - Mon Ami - The Sampler 2013

As we approach the middle of 2013 and the end of the financial year, ClubComm is taking a trip down memory lane by recapping some of the musical highlights of the last six months.

In the style of last year's inaugural sampler, the Mon Ami Sampler 2013 will take you on genre-jumping journey through disco, dubstep, trap, and electro, with just a touch of ghetto to get you in the mood to party.

So have a listen and if it's to your liking, keep an eye on the ClubComm facebook page for upcoming gigs and events where this kind of music can be experienced...

2012. 12. CCS - Lockdown V - ClubComm's 5th and final bday

After five years of frivolous festivities, fine affairs and all round fun times, the time has come for ClubComm to throw its last grand party for all the Commas and compadres out there. 

Come celebrate ClubComm's 50th and final event "LockDown V" on Friday 16 November. 

Now while this will be the last ClubComm event, it's not the last of ClubComm. The community will remain on Facebook run by all the fun Commas we've met over the years (i.e. you guys!) That's how the social club was always supposed to be run.. not by some mysterious other (aka Monisha Ponnaiya) spamming you about parties etc. We will also continue to post bar recommendations, drinks specials and other deals on the page for all those loyal comma keytag holders.

So what's planned for the grand finale?

The formal part of the night WAS going to kick off at 5pm at the newly opened and exclusive QT Gilt lounge, however due to the increase in numbers we're upgrading to the Conservatory Bar at Sheraton on the Park. Here we'll pop a bottle and raise a glass to all the people who have made the last half decade a success.

The next part of the night is a 90s themed members house party at Comma HQ at 7:30pm. Food and drinks provided, Comma Collective DJ's on rotation and our infamous party bags for all guests.

And keeping with tradition, we'll conclude the night at ClubComm's all time favourite venue Q Bar from 9:30 onwards. It's hosted by Teen Spirit, "Prom After Party" themed and anyone who RSVPs will be on guestlist.

So that's it from us... and me :-)

2012. 11. CCS - Commtiki trip to... Surfers!

Last year Commtiki took on Melbourne - 30 bars. 30 people. 3 days. Then we did Queenstown. Then Europe. 

Now it's Surfers turn!

So take a ride with Commtiki on a big jet plane! We've got a weekend packed with theme parks, club nights and some good ol' beachside R&R.

Flights and 3 nights hotel accommodation in the centre of Surfers comes to a total of $350pp with the option of adding a 3 park superpass for $99 (unlimited entry til July 2013). But get in quick! Final numbers are needed by Wednesday 31st October to get the flights before the price jumps...

So if you fancy a sneaky weekend getaway to the party centre of QLD minus the schoolies, RSVP now and invite your friends...

2012. 10. CCS - Haunted Halloween Horrorbus

Once again, ClubComm is combining two of the most successful events to date - last years Halloween House Party and NightRider Party Bus from 09 - for one party like no other.

All aboard the Haunted Halloween Horrorbus! Departing from Central station at 7pm sharp and arriving at a secret south west location at 8:30pm. The Horrorbus will then return to the city after midnight.

In true ClubComm fashion, we're going all out at the party.. Thousands of dollars have been spent on lasers, lights, smoke machines,

 speakers and the rest. And of course the Comma Collective DJ's have got your music needs sorted.

It costs $20 each way for ClubComm members to reserve your spot on the bus. For those not a comma yet, add an extra $10 to cover your ClubComm life membership. Final numbers and money must be in by Sunday 21 October.

BYO for the bus - just no glass please. Food provided.

Any other questions, feel free to post them on the wall. And don't forget to dress for the occassion!

2012. 09. CCS - Speed Networking Night

ClubComm is Sydney's original social club bringing together an assortment of people for an assortment of events over the past five years. 

So naturally the time has come for us to put on a "Speed Networking" styled evening for those keen to mix and mingle with some new people in a facilitated environment. 

Similar to "Speed Dating", this networking night will allow you to chat to different people for an allocated period of time. If you click with them, you can exchange facebook details and/or numbers, or 

just arrange to see them at the next ClubComm event. No pressure, nothing suss, just some harmless people-meeting fun.

- $10 for ClubComm keytag members (includes a reserved spot for speed networking and champagne on arrival)

- $20 for non-ClubComm members (includes a reserved spot for speed networking, champagne on arrival and ClubComm life membership)

Tickets MUST be pre-purchased for this and are limited. Simply post on the wall and a ClubComm host will be in touch with you.

2012. 08. CCS - Bowling with the homies

Following the success of last years Ghetto Gangsta Party and Karaocomma, we've decided to combine the two and throw in an extra ingredient or two, just to spice things up.

Presenting... "Bowling with the Homies" - an action packed evening with lasers, strikes, singing, dancing and more!

The night commences with a civilised round of traditional ten-pin bowling. Then the games continue in the lasertag arena with a laser skirmish showdown. And in the event that the scores are tied, we'll introduce a sudden d

eath karaoke battle.

For the homies and hip hop honeys, the plan is to finish the night on the dancefloor at an rnb club.

All welcome and feel free to stay just for the parts that interest you. As always, someone will be crowned the coveted title of ClubComm Key Player of the night. But you've got to be in it to win it!

2012. 07. CCS - Stella Fella Finals @ The Beresford

Here at ClubComm, we love to support good causes or anything our Comma's actively engage in. So for this Friday's City Social we're hitting up The Beresford for Project Futures' Stella Fella Finals 2012.

2012. 04. CCS - Comm'bined Birthday Bash

The third event in the ClubComm City Social series sees the Comma Collective crew takeover the entire top floor of the landmark Oxford St nightclub, The Burdekin, for a one off party like no other.

Celebrating the birthdays of three key Commas - Jono, Jay and Andrew - the night kicks off at 7pm and is free to all ClubComm members and their guests.

Showcasing their song-switching skills throughout the night includes The Funky Jay Cordina with your indie hits, ArunAmok bringing the rnb grooves, Simple Adam with his progressive house selection,  Mon Ami with the moombahton bangers and birthday boy Interrobang!? dropping what he does best - a doublle dose of dubious dubstep.

So put your party shoes on and we'll see you on the D-F this Friday!

Comma Collective - Mon Ami - The Sampler

So after about 4 years of procrastination, the time has finally come for me to put together a mix.

Here's a genre hopping Mon style sampler spanning nu disco, dubstep, dnb, dance, hip hop, indie and my favourite Moombahton (the dubstep of 2012!).

Think of this as a little taste of what to expect at the next ClubComm City Social club takeover Friday 3 August at The Burdekin, playing alongside ClubComm residents Adam Kain and Interrobang?!

Without further ado, here's the mix for your downloading pleasure...

Introducing your fortnightly Friday night networking event.


It's the end of a fierce fortnight of full-time work and delectable drink o'clock has arrived.
Your colleagues look parched and ask "Where to after this?"
"The usual weekly pub on the corner?" one replies. Been done before.

"Home?" Heck no.


So what do you do? You check the ClubComm City Social schedule of course.
We’ve picked the venues, we’ve scored the good deals and we’ve even found different people to entertain you every second week. All you need to do is get down and get your social on!


But wait, there's more. Each social we'll award someone with the coveted title of ClubComm's Key Player who'll receive a free drink on us.


ClubComm. Bringing your social network to life.

Good evening, it's a pleasure to meet you... I'm Interrobang! (!?! to my friends)... Just one of the many in the Comma Collective. I won't bore you with niceties, but I thought I would share a little something I prepared earlier. It might not be to Matt Prestons liking, but then again, there is only so much flavour you can get out of something prepared with a splash of vodka and a couple of CDJ's. Toss briefly and add a garnish.

I hope you enjoy it, come say hi at the next ClubComm event!
