    Love this comedy theatre. Great atmosphere and all the seats are good. Don't try and leave in a hurry though - always takes ages to get out!

    Good value theatre. Bar service can be slow so arrive early to allow time to get served. Choose seats where you can be first out for your interval drinks too.

    Great value west end theatre. The quality of shows is highly variable many of which should be seen after a drink or two.

    Never miss Austentatious, who improvise an entire Jane Austen novel based on a title given he the audience. They perform monthly on Sunday nights. Keep an eye out for other big stand-up acts.

    There are bars either side of the main stage inside the main auditorium. Great venue although not much waiting room so be prepared to queue to get in.

    Thanks to the box office staff I got tickets to see Frank Skinner & Bill Bailey tonight. They phoned me as soon as returns came in. They are credit to the venue.

    Possibly the best Theatre in London for comedy. A great range of some of the best stand ups and pretty reasonably priced tickets too.

    Never heard of Doug Stanhope before but he was hilarious, I have seen a couple of comedians here and it is a great venue. The bar is in the same room so you don't miss any of the acts.

    Small but effective, a regular testing ground for comedians ahead of major shows.

    Seating can be cramped but the shows really make up for it.

    Sex guru is pretty average, easy jokes and most of the time answering questions! Recommended for straight couples.

    The main stage and particularly the basement space here are regularly home to cabaret work.

    Get seats in the slips, they're much better than most the seats in the main area. Read more

    Not much of a rake in the main house, so if you're short sit near the front.
