Nell of Old Drury: Pub in Covent Garden, London

Nell of Old Drury is a room for comedy. Stand-up is the main thing here, with regular nights across the weekend and the occasional free night for anyone who wants to try a new set or see what the fuss is about. The crowd is mixed. Some people come for a proper night out. Others are regulars who keep coming back to see what the room throws up next. It suits you if you like live comedy and an evening that has a clear point to it. Picking a night is the main decision. Weekend shows suit a late night out. Free nights are a low-risk way in if you have not been before. Look at the list below, pick the one that fits your evening, and go in knowing you are there for the jokes.
