Your Guide to Scoring the Best Comedy Tickets in London

If you love to laugh (and who doesn’t?), London is the city for live comedy. From intimate basement gigs to big-name shows, there’s always a punchline waiting around the corner. But with so many options, how do you find the best comedy tickets in London — without breaking the bank or missing out on the funniest acts in town?
Here’s your insider guide from the team at City Comedy Club, based right here in the heart of Shoreditch.

💡 1. Know Where the Laughs Are
London’s comedy scene is bursting with talent — but the real gems are often in smaller, independent venues like City Comedy Club London.
Why? Because that’s where top comedians test brand-new material before it hits TV or Netflix. Previous surprise guests at City Comedy Club have appeared on:

• Live at the Apollo
• Mock the Week
• 8 Out of 10 Cats
• Taskmaster
• Comedy Central Roast Battle
• Russell Howard’s Good News

So, if you want to see big names in an intimate setting, you’re in the right place.

💷 2. Book Early (But Not Too Early!)
The best shows — especially Friday and Saturday nights — sell out fast. Booking in advance guarantees your spot and often gets you the best prices.
But here’s a pro tip: sometimes last-minute tickets open up if a comedian adds an extra show or someone cancels. Keep an eye on citycomedyclub.co.uk or follow @CityComedyClubLondon on Instagram for flash deals.

🎟️ 3. Grab a Group Discount
Comedy is always better with friends. Many clubs, including City Comedy Club, offer group discounts or special rates for parties, work socials, or birthdays.
Split a few drinks at the bar, share some laughs, and you’ve got the perfect Shoreditch night out.

📅 4. Weeknights = Hidden Gems
Everyone loves a Friday laugh, but don’t sleep on midweek shows. They often feature the same high-calibre line-ups with smaller crowds — meaning cheaper tickets, better seats, and a chance to mingle with the comedians after the show.

🤫 5. Sign Up for Mailing Lists (The Smart Way)

🍸 6. Make It a Night Out
Most comedy clubs — especially in Shoreditch — are surrounded by great bars and restaurants.
Grab a pre-show drink, settle in for a night of laughs at City Comedy Club, and then hit a cocktail bar nearby to keep the fun going.

🧠 7. Don’t Overthink It — Just Go!
The magic of live comedy is that every show is different. You never know when you’ll catch a future star, or witness a comedian trying a joke for the very first time.
Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan or just looking for something fun to do in London, City Comedy Club delivers great acts, great vibes, and big laughs every week.
