Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a weekend away in London for a birthday weekend. On our first evening out we visited the The Stand Up Club.
We were warmly greeted and invited to use the bar prior to the show.
We arrived early so had the pick of seats as seats are not pre-booked. There are rows of chairs or tables to sit at. This is a small venue so all seats have a great view.
The host and the acts were all entertaining and gave us a good laugh. There was a variety of styles which depends on the comedian on the night.
Overall a great evening.

Booked tickets on a whim and they did not disappoint. Strong line up of comics and solid value for money. Thanks for the great night!
Hot tip: we found the taller seats on the side to be a bit more comfy.

I went with my husband and another couple we used a buy a gift voucher, however when we got there they did not have our names on the list. The staff could not have have been more accommodating, fantastic customer care, they sorted out the problem and ensured we had excellent seats. The acts were brilliant, but the star of the show has to go to the young Aussie lad Patrick he not only was a wonderful host on the door he had us in stitches in our seats, that he also put out before the show, he certainly he a man of many talents.
We look forward to returning.

Thank you and so glad you had a top night! Patrick will be delighted to read this, he's a star in the making and not just at putting out the seats!

Whether you are a tourist or a local, if you are looking for a soul lifting abdominal workout look no further than the Comedy Pub. This place has some of the most generous and kind staff out there, a great variety of acts and jokes that made me laugh myself to peer embarrassment. Go for a drink, a laugh or a great time with friends or family. Highly Recommended!

Having read the 5-star reviews the Stand-Up comedy club did not let us down - one of the best comedy nights we've ever been with fresh acts who kept us laughing and in stitches all night!
Warmly recommended - a hidden gem!

The Stand Up Club is a really fun night out. I've been to tonnes of comedy nights and this was one is really warm and welcoming. The acts were outstanding and it was held together brilliantly by the MC. I will be back! :-)

The Stand Up Club is on the first floor in a pub called the Comedy Pub very near to Leicester Square where we were having dinner. We wanted something to do after and I love comedy and luckily there were a few tickets left so you can buy on the door.
All of the comedians were funny. Usually there's one I don't like as much but not tonight. It was nice to see a good female comedian as well called Jenny Collier. The host was spot on with his banter and some good jokes. The final comedian was a bit older and I wasn't sure if I'd like him or not but he was so funny (Otiz someone) even though it wasn't my favourite type of comedy.
This was one of the most friendly places I have been to see comedy and everyone left smiling. I would recommend this to anyone and I will definitely be coming back again soon.

Surely it’s all about the line up but on this night nothing very funny was said. Headliner was far above others but still pretty mediocre. The comedy store was a much better venue, vastly better line up and superior audience. I would not go back if it were free.

Hi Paul - shame you didn't laugh as much as you'd like to have done. The audience were fab and gave all the acts a top response so we were surprised to see this review, but we also know comedy is a matter of taste and you can't win 'em all. The headline act, Otiz Cannelloni, just won a Lifetime Achievement Award as voted for by other pro comics, so we were delighted that he graced our stage and he smashed it that night. Good luck in your quest for more laughter.

I went on a Saturday night to the stand up club, using a 'buyagift' voucher to pre book my tickets, but you can buy on the door. It had four really good acts ranging from more established to fresh faces to the circuit. The mc for the night was a stand up act in her own right and kept the audience entertained and lively through the night.
The venue was perfectly adequate for this type of stand up show and I would happily return to and recommend this place.

HI Alex - glad you liked it, please tell all your pals and bring them back with you next time. Well, not if you have over 120 pals as that would break fire regulations, just choose your favourite pals :) Cheers!

The venue was a room above the Comedy pub which was fine. Went on a Flash Friday where a ticket costs £10. Booked & paid online but i did see a couple of people pay on the door so maybe walk-ins are fine if it's not fully booked. The comedians on the night were ok but unfortunately not very funny. The MC was good and involved a lot of the audience in the room...not just those at the front.

Dear Pathfinder
Sorry you didn't find the path to great laughter on this evening, it's hard to please everyone but we shall keep trying. Glad the MC was to your taste though, and you're welcome back any time.
