Award-winning Monday & Wednesday comedy
 

Our Monday and Wednesday shows together have been voted London's best open mic comedy night at the Chortle Awards three years in a row (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). Running two award-winning open mic nights a week is something we're genuinely proud of.

A real mix. You'll typically see around 8-10 acts in a 90-minute show. Some are established circuit comedians testing new material. Some are newer acts building their first tight 5 minutes. Occasionally, a well-known name drops in unannounced to try something out.

​

​

Yes - we recommend booking a seat in advance but entry doesn't cost anything. if you'd like, at the end of the night you can make a donation to support the night.

What's the difference between Monday and Wednesday?
