The Boom Boom Room is the project of comedian Rachel Berger.

Soon to be a regular night at the Royal Oak, the evenings will present talent in stand-up comedy, circus acts, cabaret - you name it, as long as it's high quality.

Ms Berger moved to Launceston about four years ago, and said she had been canvassing the idea of creating a new comedy room in this style ever since she moved to Tasmania.

She is confident there will be an eager audience for the carefully-curated, slightly-subversive shows.

"I think the mixture of stand-up comedy and cabaret means you can get a whole lot of people of different ages coming together," she said.

"I love seeing 18-year-olds and 80-year-olds in a room - which will happen. Hopefully.

"It's going to be old-school, almost vaudeville-style cabaret, with really good performers - it could be jazz artists, it could be a rope trick like they do in rodeos.

"It's adult entertainment, but it's not dirty, or sleazy. It's got an edge to it."

The room will be on either monthly or every two months depending on demand, on what else is on in Launceston.

The first run, on Friday, July 12, will involve cabaret act Tina del Twist, and local comedians Chloe Black, Mike Cain and Fiona Girkin.

According to Ms Berger, Tina Del Twist has "a voice as smooth as honey, a comedic wit that could shred brie, and will be backed by a guitar maestro - she's a gin-soaked velvet-draped madame."

Chloe Black presents "hilarious" stand-up comedy about her gender transition, Mike Cain is a political satirist who also happens to work in the public service, and Fiona Girkin is a Launceston-based comedian who also has a management podcast.

Rachel Berger, who is an award-nominated stand-up comedian, author, and Melbourne ABC radio co-host, will MC.

"I think there will be something for everyone," she said.

"The variety of the acts will be limited only by the performers' imagination. There will be no limitations on originality, brilliance or chutzpah.

"People have forgotten what entertainment is all about. It doesn't have to be glum. It doesn't have to have a resolution. There doesn't need to be a message.

"You go out, and it's fun. People need that. It's old-school entertainment without being old-school - meaning it's progressive.

"And this is a well-known pub that apparently has had a history of presenting things that were slightly risque, so it's a good fit."

Wendy Robbins, who has been the owner of the Royal Oak for about six months, said the Boom Boom Room was exactly the kind of community music and arts event that she wanted to have at the pub.
