Five new Comedy Club venues kick off brand new comedy nights from 5th September, all in key areas crying out for the best comedians from the Comedy Club and starting another great relationship with the company.

As each new Comedy Club venue seats between 180 and 450 people, the demand from premier venues for quality comedians in an entertainment package has never been so clear. The celebration of the 'Alternative' circuit in Edinburgh clearly has a very strong impact on the entertainment choices of venues looking for interesting shows with mainstream appeal.

Zebra Bar, Maidstone. Kent

Oxford Belfry, Oxford. Oxfordshire

For the Comedians...

Whether a Comedy Club venue has run for 10 years or is just starting the exciting journey, there is never a substitute to using the UK's best comedians. This reputation for The Comedy Club's quality of comedians precedes the shows at every venue, and this trust in quality entertainment is deep rooted.

Always looking for the next big act to break onto the circuit, The Comedy Club has a very few select venues which allow 1 open mic comedian to try for their place on The Comedy Club circuit. 10minutes to make or break a potential career in stand-up creates huge pressure on the comedians but finding the hottest comedians always comes out of the toughest situations.
