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.

The Free Association

London's improv school and its stage, in a railway arch behind Union Street.

Fringe & pubsComedy club

The FA teaches improvisation in levels, from a taster class to long-form, and then puts what comes out of it on stage: house teams, student shows and visiting companies, several nights a week in the arch. Watching is cheap and the point of the place is that the people on stage are making it up as they go, which is either the best or the worst possible argument for a ticket.

It calls itself London's home of improv comedy and there is not much competition for the title.
