London comedy clubs aren’t always good – this one is

August 25, 2009

The comedy club I’ve been highlighting this month is the Funny Side Comedy Club. It’s not the cheapest comedy club to go to, tickets are £12.50, but it is one of the best. Just to show you how popular it is, last week the Saturday night show sold out way before Saturday. You can’t go [...]
