The Bearcat Comedy Club

Founded in 1984, The Bearcat is one of London’s longest-running comedy clubs and continuously attracts the best names in the comedy circuit to perform in West London. Located in Twickenham’s The Turk’s Head, the legendary nightclub books in top-notch comedy entertainers and even throws in a few celebrity guest appearances from time to time.

Instant Laughs

This comedy nightclub is located just a few minutes away from Hammersmith station at The Grove bar and restaurant, and it has a smaller and more intimate feel to it, compared to other London comedy clubs. Instant Laughs itself is a comedy and production company set on bringing audiences fresh stand-up comedy performers. With 10-12 acts in one evening (all with five-minutes slots), the night is fast-paced and incredibly varied, making it different than many other clubs in the city.
