A monthly event in TW which has just moved from above the Grey Lady in the Pantiles to Chapel Place…read morenearby. I can only assume it's because they need a larger venue. It's always busy and deservedly so. The fellas that run it seem to know everybody & make it their business to say hello to all & sundry. The normal MC is a local guy called Stephen Upsall who's quite a card & they have some excellent guests for a reasonable fee. Lucy Porter & Robin Ince were particularly good last year. Nobly, they squeeze in a newcomer between the more experienced first and last acts. Noble but sphincter-puckeringly risky at times. This is often the crucial time of the evening & there is always a thrill in watching somebody take that big leap. Some have done excellently and others shockingly. Few situations can summon up the awkwardness of being in a dying comedians audience. It is supported by a happy local crowd. The local Toni & Guy are one of the sponsors and they always send down a group of lunatics. Beyond this there is another sponsor called 'Moog Royale': I think they sell synthesiser burgers.

I've visited the Therapy Room Comedy Club on numerous occassions and have to say it is one of the…read morebest nights out that Tunbridge Wells has to offer. Ok, that might not be saying a lot but the Therapy Room offers a quirky, less formal alternative to comedy at Trinity or The Assembly Hall. Much improved since it's move to a superior venue (less chance of being asphyxiated by Grey Lady fajita fumes), the comedians are invariably excellent, ably supported by a compere full of cracking local gags. A great night's entertainment at a good price.

Such a great night out will definitely be back again. Fantastic acts great atmosphere!read more

With some time to kill on a Tuesday evening, noticed that there was an 8 o'clock showing at this…read morepopular comedy spot. Central location and no line to speak of to walk in. General admission is £16 and there is no drink minimum. Despite that, still got one of the drafts on tap (£6ish) and settled in near the corner. Most of the seats are reserved towards the middle and back - so I assume this is possible when purchasing in advance online. As for the show itself, the comedians are knowledgeable and topical. The theme is "The Cutting Edge" for Tuesdays, which is mostly focused on current evens and political news. A tip for the show, they make fun of the first row a lot; best to keep that in mind when choosing seats. Great show and would come to visit again.

Went for dinner...and it was packed!!! Good thing there was one table for me and my two…read moreflatmates...we squished in! Musta been dinner time rush. Only one steak and ale pie left...so they obviously gave it to me because i haven't tried before---i mean how can you be in london and NOT try this?! Outrageous!!

The week I went down apart from excellent performances from comedians on the circuit there were guys from BBC1. Andy Parson was trying out material for his tour and Lee Mack for his too. It was amazing quality for £7 whereas normally you would pay up to £20 to see comics like that in other venues. Great night, thoroughly recommended as this will be a regular Monday outing for me!!

An amazing night out, intimate comedy (a tad too intimate if like me you happen to end up sitting…read morein the front row and the compare accuses you of being boring). The people next to me were having an affair, I couldn't compete! This place has to be advertised more, I couldn't believe I'd only just found out about it last month, an absolute gem and I will definitely be returning monthly. Held on the last Thursday of every month, it is an excellent treat to elongate the weekend and for only a tenner! The Old School House is a brilliant use of space, informal and intimate, featuring brilliant up and coming comedians (and a bar) and very much appreciated in a town with a, dare I say, 'stuffy' reputation.

We came here while in London, looking for a good time, and we definitely found it! This was one of…read morethe most fun things we could have found here. The show is hilarious, full stop. The bar staff is great and the drinks are seriously cheap. The place is exactly as you expect and hope for a comedy club. A great vibe, a great sound system, a great lighting system and a great crowd. The cost to get in is minimal, but if you enjoy the show, they will ask you to donate what you think it is worth. And, seriously, if you don;t donate way more than the cost of your $1 ticket, then you just suck. The show is worth way more than the cost, by a long shot. Pony up $20 you cheap bastard! It's so worth it. I'm so glad we found this place, and we had a phenomenal time. Go here!!

From its origins as a comedy venue, Komedia has expanded both its space and reportoire to become…read moreBrighton's main live entertainment establishment, with over 700 performances a year from an award-winning range of stand-up comedy, music, caberet and theatre, as well as an active children's programme. The Komedia is a little scruffy around the edges, but that's Brighton for you. The building has two performance venues, an independently-run cafe bar and foyer bar (and feels much larger inside than its modest facade implies). They also provide food during some performances with a caberet-style setting. But it's the entertainment you come here for, not the surroundings. The staff seem friendly enough, although not always fantastically efficient - on-line booking isn't always available, for example. Arrive with plenty of time for comedy performances, as the best seating gets taken early on. (You can always have a drink while you wait.) If, like me, you have a large, illuminated, 'pick on me' sign on your head which only the performer can see, you'll need to tuck yourself away somewhere inconspicuous...
