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.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
The club that made British stand-up what it is, running since 1979.
Fringe & pubsComedy club
It opened above a Soho strip club in 1979 and the first generation through it — Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, French and Saunders, Ben Elton — became alternative comedy, which then became all comedy. It moved to a basement off the Haymarket in 1993 and still runs the same way: a compère, a bill, and a gong for anyone dying on a Tuesday.
The bill is a pattern rather than a diary, and it is listed under the hours: stand-up at the end of the week, improv on Sundays, new material on Mondays, and an open mic once a month that is not for the faint-hearted.
