Comedy
London has more stand-up comedy in a week than New York, LA, Toronto and Chicago…COMBINED!
That’s a lot of laughs. Most of the established comedy clubs have some great acts, just avoid the flyerers in Leicester Square handing out nebulous claims to crappy shows.
You should probably avoid Leicester Square all together unless you want to lose money and dignity!
Piccadilly Circus has the world famous Comedy Store, which always has great international acts.
Our fave club is the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethal Green.
Great acts, reasonable tickets and you never know who might pop in to do a spot!
