The Comedy Store
Before heading off to prime time, some of the United Kingdom's funniest stand-ups cut their teeth here, at what's considered the birthplace of alternative comedy in Britain. The Comedy Store Players, a team with six resident comedians doing improv based on audience suggestions, perform on Sunday. The King Gong open-mike is a brutal stage contest for 30 brave newcomers while Old Rope sessions showcase new material on Monday. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have the best stand-up comedy acts. There's also a bar with food. Note that you must be over 18 years old to enter.
