Groovie Comedy

Live stand-up in a pub function room has its own feel. The Grove Tavern's upstairs space runs comedy on Thursday nights from 8pm, rotating through stand-up and variety acts. It's intimate in a way dedicated venues rarely manage.

Thursday evenings suit it. Close enough to the weekend to relax, far enough that the room stays manageable. You get the pub's atmosphere without competing for air with a crowd at the bar. The kind of night where you catch someone testing material or a regular sharpening their set.
