Last week I went to London to meet with my friends. Jennifer, who was visiting from the States, wanted to go to a comedy club. So we found one in Camden. To our surprise, it was only £15! Perfect. If you’ve ever been out in London on a Saturday night you’ll know how hard it is to get a seat. So this meant we paid £15 for great entertainment with allocated seats.
Doors opened at 6:45 pm. We had our hands stamped at the door so we were able to go back and forth to the bar and toilets.
The comedy started at 8 pm. There were 3 acts, with an interval at 9 pm. It finished around 10:30 pm. The acts were all funny, though there was one that was better than the other two. The other two both made a few jokes about child abuse which were probably a bit too far. I do understand how they’re trying to keep things relevant to what’s current, but I’m not sure I can ever find a joke about ‘fucking’ a baby alright. Even if it is a joke. Just was a bit too far for me and that is saying a lot because it’s tough to shock me! The rest of the show was really good though. The drinks were a bit on the expensive side at £6 a pint, but what can you expect for the middle of Camden?
I want to take my boyfriend the next time we’re in London as it’s something a bit different to do rather than just sit in a pub!
Book here if you want to go.
Seems like you had a lovely night at the comedy house, apart from those child abuse jokes, I don’t think I’d enjoy those either, but that’s comedy, some comedians take it a bit too far. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a comedy house, there are some stand up comedy nights organized here occasionally, but I never went.
