Mondays is New Material night, with 6 professional comedians trying out some freshly baked gags.

Tuesdays have Nico Yearwood and Dave Chawner hosting 3 sections of the best comedians on the circuit.

Wednesdays is a fresh new material night (like Monday).

Thursdays is business as usual, with stand-up shows featuring the best of London’s Stand up Comedy Scene.

Worth noting

Line ups are subject to last minute changes, best rest assured that all of our line ups (no matter how changed) will always be of a top class quality.

A lot of our shows sell out, and we do not reserve seating. Please get to the venue early to ensure seats together.

Tickets are sent via email and will be scanned from your phone on entry. If you do not receive your ticket don’t worry; you can also gain entry by using the reference that is given on screen on purchase or we can swipe the card you used for purchase and find your tickets on the front desk that way.

We do allow people under the age of 18 in to the club, as long as they are accompanied by a parent, but prepare for some explicit language and humour. Children under 15 are not advised to attend the shows.

On our Sunday to Wednesday shows (and Thursdays at 23 Kingsway) we ask that the audience give what the show is worth after the show and the money is shared with the comics so please contribute generously!

Work in progress

Before our main shows between 6:00pm and 7.15pm Monday to Thursday, Saturday at 2:00pm and 3:00pm on Sunday, we let acts use the venue to work on their solo shows that will be going on tour, to the Edinburgh Festival, the Adelaide Comedy Festival and other majors comedy festivals around the world. You can see these shows in development and help shape the shows. Most shows are free or low cost with the option to donation after the show.
