Can't say I really like this place. It's overpriced ticketwise (this isn't London) and the acts are…read moregenerally not hugely funny. As you can guess I've stopped going now. The food and drink prices are also extortionate, especially when you consider the venue is 'partnered' with the cheap and cheerful Walkabout downstairs. Like any self respecting chain venue, once you're in Jongleurs you could pretty much be anywhere in the country, it looks the same except for the acts aren't usually that great. No real big names to speak of that I've noticed on the bill in the last couple of months. Save your money and go somewhere good instead. Preferably in another city if its comedy you're after.

It really depends who you get on the bill as to whether you actually enjoy your night here, as the…read morerest of the set-up hasn't got much going for it. It's hugely small for the amount of tables they pack in every week, so beware of spilling your overpriced Chardonnay over somebody's head as you squeeze by. And the food is pretty dire, especially if you're vegetarian (vegetable lasagna heated up in a microwave? Yawn). And the ticket price is extortionate, given there's absolutely no freebies on offer with it. Have to say, though, it is worth filling in your card to get the free bubbly - I won it once, which was a nice addition to an otherwise underwhelming night.

The Comedy Club will put on 3 comedians and a fabulous compere, often recognisable faces from the Telly! We enjoyed a 2 course Christmas Dinner within the venue before hand and we also had a go at playing Adventure Golf, starting our party with a cheeky 18 holes of golf, to get us in the silly mood..... At the end of every night, we stayed within to dance the night away! Highly recommend this night out if you are looking for a good old fashioned laugh with friends.

Situated inside the Arcadian, the actual door to the comedy venue is an unassuming one (although you can also get in via the much more obvious bar/patio area). I have seen Richard Herring (always a winner), Dylan Moran (a huge disappointment), David O'Doherty (so funny I had to go to the loo several times during the performance) and many other notable acts in their "intimate" rooms upstairs. Well, that's not fair - the ROOM isn't intimate, it's the seating arrangement that will make you feel like a rollmop. Ticket prices are pretty hard to beat too. It's always a great line up at the Glee and I don't believe I have paid more than £15 to see a top comedian perform live. The drinks prices are another matter, but that's to be expected in a venue. They do reasonable deals on "buckets" (bottles) and jugs of beer. The food is a reasonable selection of bar food, so don't expect a Michelin starred meal. It's perfectly serviceable to quench your hunger pre or mid show, but again, is a little pricey for what it is. Due to where it's situated, some great restaurants do pre-theatre menu's which are much more tasty and better priced. If you're looking for a top spot to see some world class comedy, check out the Glee club. It's not fancy, it's not cheap to eat and drink; but depending on your taste in comedy and comedian, you might just have ROFLtastic night.

There must be a reason why they are so strict, it does tend to take a shine off the evening. We we waiting for our organiser, and they arrived about 10 mins before the doors closed, but the door staff weren't very accommodating. The Comedy: Never heard of the two guests. They weren't bad, but I felt the compare was better... Our group aren't the disco types, so left at that point. If I went again, I wouldn't go as a group, and I would be selective about the acts that appeared.

There are two break during the night which give you time for a toilet break and to get to the bar (good selection down stairs and sometimes that bar upstairs is open too). You definitely get value for money - there are generally 4 acts on and they can be very different. Some of them might not be your style, but I find most of them brilliant and I like the fact you don't quite know what you are getting! I have never been disappointed - well worth attending!

Now, I can't really remember how I first came across JQ Comedy - but I'm glad I did. I love comedy…read morenights, but have been to some really awful nights in Birmingham before (where the comedians aren't advertised and you rock up and wait to see who's on), so I am so pleased to have found this night and become a regular. JQ Comedy is a monthly event held at the Rose Villa Tavern in the Jewellery Quarter. It features a compere and four comedians over the course of an evening (a usual night starts around 8:30 and runs until about 11pm with a few short breaks to get drinks) and I have never been disappointed with what I've seen. Harriet (who comperes and run the evening) is always filled with energy and a joy to behold. Her madcap style of introducing the night and the acts is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The format is introduction - first act (about 20 minutes) - break (10 - 15 minutes), two more comedians - break (5 - 10 minutes) - main act. The breaks give you just enough time to nip to the loo, grab a drink and have a cigarette (so there is no chance of getting bored throughout the evening). We have seen stand up comedians from all around the world, Edinburgh previews, high energy skit based pieces and musical comedy. Tickets are a bargainous £5.50 for a whole evening of entertainment and the upstairs room of the RVT is cosy and the pub itself offers food (so you can grab dinner before the show) and a selection of ales (including at least one Two Towers Ale as the night is sponsored by the local brewery http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/two-towers-brewery-birmingham). Ever since my first visit in 2014, I have tried to catch as many of the shows as I can. Even if you don't love all of the comedians (there is a wide variety of styles and personalities), you will come away chuckling to yourself. My face is ALWAYS aching from smiling when I leave and I've never had a bad evening. If you haven't been yet, check out the next show, book tickets and go. You won't look back!

Thankfully, Birmingham is home to great comedic talent and one of the first places they get to…read moreshowcase this is at Jongleurs. The comedy club is located at Bliss bar on Broad Street, but there is a designated entrance. They have regular comedy nights on Fridays and Saturdays where up and coming stand-up acts perform, as well as known comedians. Their website has details of the line-up for each night. The comedy show starts at 9pm but you can get there earlier to dine at the bar. I'd recommend the falafel burger, which is divine! Their prices are average for the area, with cocktail pitchers at around £15. Once the comedy show is finished you could head up to Bliss if you fancy making a late night of it. You avoid the queues because you're already inside! Jongleurs is a great place to dine, laugh out loud and then dance the night away.

Risa is a big club on Broad Street, with five different rooms, each playing a different selection of music, and six different bars. Having said this, it still takes a lot of time and effort to get the attention of one of the bar staff. When it isn't a student night, the crowd is mostly 20 something locals and can sometimes get a bit rowdy. They are quite strict on the dress code there, especially with male shoes, so make sure you're wearing a proper pair and make sure that you bring your ID, no matter how old you look. Overall, a good night out, nothing amazing but still good fun.

The venue is great, with good views from most of the theatre and beer holders on every seat... bonus! Since Sunday I've been wondering to myself why I haven't been to this type of thing before as it's only £4 for a ticket and £1 if you're a student! They have a wide selection of pizza for £5 each - also available to take into the theatre with your beer! I will definitely be returning soon for a night of beer, pizza and comedy. I recommend the Pizza Fiorentina for a tasty veggie option! Pizza Fiorentina Mozzarella, tomato sauce, spinach, olives, finely chopped garlic, parmesan and topped with a free range egg (V)

I went on Friday night for my friend's birthday, it's pretty expensive on a Friday (£18) but it is worth it, we saw five comedians who were all funny, there were tears streaming down my face at one point, literally laughed my socks off. The compere we had (Jason Cook) was so funny and really got the audience going, be prepared to be picked on if you're going to try and heckle....

Downstairs is a great bar area where the prices are quite reasonable and it is possible to hang out with the talent before the gig starts. There are 2 pleasant and clean smoking areas outside downstairs and upstairs. The live music happens upstairs in the intimate little room that oozed atmosphere. I was one of the first up there and felt at home already. It is possible to stand at the bar and get a good view of the stage or sit at the back on the comfy sofas but the best place to be once the artists are on stage is right in front of the stage on the dancefloor. One Criticism would be that the beer is dearer upstairs than downstairs.

Do you go out of your way to find 'quirky' or 'vintage' clothing to express your 'individuality', and try to look cool without it appearing that you've made any effort to do so? Do you see yourself as a moody but intellectual type who really has never had very much in your life to actually feel moody about? Are you a grown adult in your early to mid-20s, but think it's 'cute' to carry a bag or purse or wear a shirt with a picture of a retro cartoon character from your childhood on it? If so, this could be the place for you. An indie poser's paradise is how i've always seen this place, and I spent a fair bit of time in here only due to playing gigs. It's a subjective thing I know, but I just find the clientele too posy and pretentious for my liking. Still, the comments about this place as a music venue are quite accurate. A lot of up and coming bands do pass through the doors here, so it really can be the place to catch the 'next big thing' if that's what you are into. If you regularly attend gigs here, it is quite likely that at some point in the future, you'll be turning to your friends or people around you at a big gig and saying "I saw these guys before they were famous!" (famous meaning that they've now appeared on the inner pages of the NME a couple of times). On a less sarcastic note, it is a pleasant enough place inside and you're not likely to get caught up in a punch up on a Saturday night, unless you find yourself in a really heated debate with somebody about whether or not White Lies sound anything like Joy Division. If you are a genuine fan of indie music, then this is probably the best place in Nottingham to come to, whether you are pretentious or not.
