Great comedy in a great venue
In London we’re blessed with having so many things that we can choose to do in the evening. That we forget about the lesser known comedy clubs in London.
It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone likes to have a good laugh. Yet when was the last time you went to a comedy club. You’ve probably been to the cinema in the last couple of weeks, maybe the theatre, definitely to a restaurant. But for some reason you never get round to going to a comedy club.
But why is that? I know before I started doing this blog I hardly went to comedy clubs because one I thought the acts would be offensive. Two I thought they probably weren’t any good because I hadn’t heard of them. Then finally there was the cost.
If you fall into any of those categories, it’s time to wake up, things have changed a hell of a lot.
In London if an act is known to likely cause offense, the club will have advertised that fact well in advance so you know what to expect.
As for the standard of comics, in London it’s very high. Because there are so many good comics to choose from, London clubs only put on established acts and when they don’t, they advertise it as a newcomers night.
With regard to cost, that really isn’t an issue these days. For instance the comedy club I’m highlighting today, Just the Tonic, only charges £10 for a Friday night.
Now I’ve been to their shows and never been disappointed and unlike most clubs where you’re bum has gone numb after sitting on a hard seat. At Just the Tonic because the club is in a theatre, seating comfort isn’t an issue.
This week they have a particularly strong line up which is I why I wanted to let you know about this. Chances are you haven’t heard of these guys but take a look at their bios and you’ll see they’re all top draw, with a little bit of top shelf thrown in.
For a good comedy club in London try Just the Tonic. They hold comedy on Friday and Saturday nights. It’s £10 on Friday and £15 on Saturday. The club is just off Leicester Square at the Leicester Square theatre.
So what was the last comedy club in London that you went to and did it have a line up as good as this for just a tenner?
Also so that you don’t miss out on other things to do in London keep reading our blog.
Thanks for your time.
