Stand-up comedy in London
From The Comedy Store to the Top Secret Comedy Club: all comedy and cabaret in London, tonight and this week.
Questions about comedy
Where can I see stand-up comedy in London?
The Comedy Store, in the West End, has run since 1979 and calls itself the UK's most iconic comedy club. The Top Secret Comedy Club in Covent Garden has rooms at 170A Drury Lane and 23 Kingsway. Cabaret and bigger shows play in the city's theatres.
Are there cheap comedy nights in London?
Often, yes: the Top Secret Comedy Club's own listings include shows with a £1 booking fee, where the audience contributes after the show, and paid shows. Check the club's page for each night.
What is an open mic?
At an open mic new comedians take the stage for the first time and known comedians test new material. Entry is often free or a small fee.
