Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, and the rooms above pubs where things start. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

Leicester Square Theatre

Four hundred seats off Leicester Square, and the house most touring comedians play in London.

West EndComedy club

Lesley Ackland and Martin Witts reopened it in August 2008 with twelve weeks of Joan Rivers, and it has been one of the country's principal comedy houses since: Bill Bailey, Micky Flanagan, Frankie Boyle, Jo Brand, Bridget Christie, and Stewart Lee for a season most years. Richard Herring named his podcast after the building.

It is not only comedy - cabaret, dance, music and plays go on too, and Stick Man comes back for the children every Christmas. Two bars sit in the auditorium itself and a smaller one is downstairs. The building was a live music room called the Cavern in the Town in the sixties, which is the sort of thing Leicester Place has a lot of.
