London comedy shows

Jimmy Carr, Micky Flanagan, Milton Jones, Paul Kaye, Richard Ayoade, Jack Whitehall and Shappi Khorsandi are just some of London (and the surrounding area's) comedic alumni. If one thing’s clear, it’s that London’s stand up comedy scene is in full bloom

With the city spawning such a large number of internationally acclaimed comic minds, London plays as a battlefield for a huge number of comedians on the cusp of breaking through, battling it out against each other in strong competition.

Some fantastic comedy nights in London include The Shakespeare Comedy Club, a free comedy night beneath one of London’s oldest pubs. The club promises a varied lineup of comedians from the UK and around the world. Clean Slate showcases London's up and coming comedians each Wednesday, the perfect midweek boost to keep you going until the weekend. City Comedy Club (a club that has seen celebs from Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, and more grace the stage) has Thursday and Friday night shows to help you kick off the weekend properly.

Go on, treat yourself! Check out a side-splitting, tear-inducing, barely-breathing comedy night in London now.
