Backyard Comedy Club - Friday Night

Backyard in Bethnal Green books the kind of top-tier comics you'd see at major venues, but keeps the room intimate enough that you actually see the jokes happen. It's proof that a great comedy night is about the room and the audience, not the hype or the scene.

Book in advance. Tickets are £12.50 plus booking fee, or £20 at the door. Arrive by 7:15pm to collect your wristband. The bar and kitchen open from 6pm if you want to eat beforehand. Show runs 7:45 to 10pm.
