Don't know about you, but we like to be 'in the know' about the comedy shows in London that are 'so totally hot right now'. Well, using some sort of complicated algorithm the list below gives you the top 10 most popular comedy shows currently on the Time Out website. Now you'll never miss out those hot tickets that everyone's talking about – hurrah!

  • Comedy
  • Stand-up
  • Sloane Square
With Sloane Square’s iconic Royal Court Theatre currently between ruling regimes – new theatre programming doesn’t return until May – the atmospheric building is being taken over by comedy producers Avalon for a week and a bit that’ll see it backed with names both hip and big: catch acclaimed recent shows from the likes of Ania Magliano an Ahir Shah, with the headline event being comic and commentator David Baddiel reprising all three of his most recent stand-up shows: ‘My Family: Not the Sitcom’, ‘Fame: Not the Musical’ and ‘Trolls: Not the Dolls’, which will be filmed for posterity. See here for full details of the season.
  • Comedy
  • Stand-up
  • Soho
The popular Irish stand-up and podcast host returns with a new show in which she talks about her life post-breakup and the general indignities the world heaps upon single women in contemporary society in what she’s billing as a ‘twisted second coming of age saga’.

  • Covent Garden
Tom Walker’s sweary reporter alter ego has been knocking around for a while, but seems to be homing in on the big time with new show ‘Heroes & Villains’, which caps a lengthy UK tour with a fortnight in the West End. Jonathan Pie is in no way subtle: he’s a political hack forever snapping as a result of being banned from telling it how it really is (which he inevitably ends up doing). But if you’re in the market for a man swearing at the Tories a lot – and who isn’t? – then this is doubtless the show for you.

  • Stand-up
  • Greenwich Peninsula
The time is finally nigh. After a huge rush all the way back in 2022 to bag tickets for Peter Kay’s huge comeback tour, his residency at the O2 arena is here. Last yeat the Bolton funny man began his first stand up tour in 12 years, and now to round it all off in epic style he’s pulling an Elvis-style move and doing a monthly residency at the O2 Arena – the first stand-up in the world to do so. The gigs will continue all the way into 2025, so even if you missed out on tickets the first time round there should be plenty of opportunity to catch the Lancastrian’s signature gags, guffaws and one-liners in the capital.
