  Comedy Store

  Comedy Store, 1A Oxendon Street, London, SW1Y 4EE

  There’s no doubt about it, the Comedy Store is the daddy of all comedy clubs, and what most other gigs strive to be. Seemingly as old as London itself, the club has been instrumental in the growth of alternative comedy, and still to this day hosts stunning shows most nights of the week. Don’t miss the raucous King Gong on the last Monday of the month; the weekend bills are very rarely topped.

  Fat Tuesday

  Compass, 58 Penton Street, London, N1 9PZ

It's now in the hands of Nish Kumar, and this tiny room above the Compass pub still hosts consistently brilliant line-ups, with wonderfully varied bills and headliners at the top of their game.

  Live at the Chapel

  Union Chapel, Compton Terrace, London, N1 2XD

  This monthly Islington comedy club undoubtedly provides the finest, most interesting line-ups in the capital. Taking over the gorgeous Union Chapel, the shows here are all killer, no filler, featuring the biggest names in comedy (Tim Minchin, Russell Howard, Simon Amstell, Noel Fielding and Frankie Boyle have all played) alongside supporting comics who are all headliners in their own right. Throw in a terrific live band, a tea-serving kiosk and a lot of swearing in a church, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a night out. Amen.

  Soho Theatre

  Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, London, W1D 3NE

  Rather than multi-bill nights, the Soho Theatre programmes solo, hour-long shows from some of the finest comedy acts in the world. Across three performance spaces, the venue hosts London performances of Edinburgh Fringe hits, the best in international stand-up, and shows that are a little more theatrical than straight man-and-a-mic stand-up. To see the best in exciting, cutting-edge comedy, get yourself down to Soho.

  Up The Creek

  Up The Creek, 302 Creek Road, London, SE10 9SW

  Once an absolute bear pit of a club, the atmosphere in Greenwich’s Up the Creek isn’t quite as raucous as it was in Malcolm Hardee’s day, but it’s still one of the most exciting weekend comedy clubs in London. Thursdays are a new-act showcase, reputable circuit talent play Fridays and Saturdays, and you’ll often see a famous face at the cheap, chilled and cheerful ‘Sunday Special’.
