Frequently asked questions

What kinds of comedy can I see in London?

London stages everything from arena tours by household-name stand-ups to intimate club nights, sketch and improv troupes, and work-in-progress shows where comedians try out new material. The listings below span the West End theatres, dedicated comedy clubs and the rooms that host touring acts.

Is there an age limit for comedy shows?

Many comedy nights are restricted to over-sixteens or over-eighteens because of adult content, and some club venues are licensed and admit adults only. The age policy is set by the act and the venue and is shown on the individual listing, so check before booking for younger audience members.

How long does a comedy show last?

A solo stand-up show typically runs around ninety minutes to two hours, often with a support act and an interval. Club bills with several acts can run longer. Running times appear on the show page where the promoter has confirmed them.

Should I expect audience participation?

It depends on the act. Some comedians work the front rows heavily while others stick to a prepared set with no interaction at all. If you would rather not be picked on, seats further back and away from the aisles are the safer choice.
