The 10 Best Comedy Nights In London

London’s not short of places to go for a laugh – from glitzy iconic comedy clubs, to rough and ready pubs where you can catch intimate sets. There’s comedy on every night of the week so if you’re ready to chuckle, here are the best 10 comedy nights in London to check out.

1. The Comedy Store Players

2. Just the Tonic Saturday Night Show

Bar, British

The Comedy Loft hosts the Just the Tonic nights once a week in Camden with four different acts from the UK and abroad every week. You can pre-order food and drinks before you go and there’s always an after party after the show.

3. The Friday Night Show

Bar, Beer

Fridays are big league comedian time at the Up the Creek comedy club in Greenwich. Plus there’s plenty of surprises as the support slots are kept secret, so who knows who’ll you’ll see. This community focused comedy club also has free afternoon comedy sets for mums and you can bring the baby.

The 99 Club

The 99 Club consistently wins awards for being the best comedy club in London. It has five venues across London and has comedy on every night of the week. Expect to see a lot of panel show comics like Nathan Caton and Ivo Graham.

Laugh Out London

Consistently a good laugh, The Piccadilly Comedy Club returns in June 2017 after its host pub, The Comedy Pub, gets a refurb. It runs shows Friday and Saturdays and for twenty quid you can also get a meal at Tiger Tiger next door. You’ll find a range of UK comedians and the club stays open until 2am if you want to stay on.

Soho Theatre has a range of different comedy nights from pre-Edinburgh shows to smaller touring comedy works. Michael MacIntrye, Dom Joly and Sean Hughes are all slated for the summer to try new work.

7. Angel Comedy Pro Night

Pub, Pub Grub

Angel Comedy Pro Night, The Bill Murray, London

Angel pub The Bill Murray (yes, really) has comedy every night of the week and is geared towards many trying out new material, but once a month there’s a pro night where four big name comics come together to make you chuckle. This is a lovely new club with it’s heart in the right place.
