- RussellLondon, United Kingdom4 contributionsThe funniest of evenings! Brilliant night!This was my second visit to this venue with my party of 9 people, and it was just as good as our first visit last year. It was easy to book and our tickets were available immediately. On the night we were met by the warmest of welcomes, and shown to our seats. We had time to get a drinks and get ourselves comfortable. The acts started with an lovely MC. She was very funny and engaging! All the acts were very, very funny and we were soon roaring with laughter. All in all we had the best evening, and we will definitely be back again!!Visited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 January 2023
- PhoM3 contributionsGreat Saturday Night OutVisited London for the weekend and wanted to do something a bit different. The venue was great, on a boat with great night views across the Thames. The comedians we watched were hilarious and there was great access to the bar. We didn’t go to the after party as we wanted to see other places that night but it was great that entry to that was included with the ticket. Highly recommend.Visited January 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 January 2023
- Excursion368838841852 contributionsNight out in LondonHad so much fun and laughter that I was smiling for days. The show had 3 acts and the host. All the acts had punchlines that made everyone laugh. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant. There is a night club after the show with music that is both throwback and trending.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 March 2023

I visited with my husband, two daughters and one of their partners. So our ages ranged from 20 to 62! We all had a fantastic night, the three comedians were hilarious and so was the MC. We ate on the boat beforehand which was reasonably priced with good service and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fun night out! Went with 4 friends and we all loved the various comics that performed. Laughed so much. Great venue, good bar service and pretty decent loos ( for a boat!) Tickets were very reasonable. Beautiful views of the Thames and London Eye at night. Best kept secret in London.

Hello Sheelah,
As stated in the terms and conditions of the ticketing sites we use all sales are final.
We can with enough notice move tickets over to a new date, to do so you would need to email Jack@bluebookam.com in advance to allow us to do this.
I cannot see any emails from any Sheela's in my inbox.
Please email me to discuss this and I'm sure we can find you a new date.
Many thanks
Jack

The show was great. Perfect comedy room setting not too big and not too small. Very engaging. Staff all very pleasant throughout the boat. Show breaks perfect timing to top up drinks have a smoke etc. The disco on deck is excellent something v unique. My legs still sore from dancing and my throat from laughing. Only reason I wouldn't give 100% the mens toilets were stinking of stale piss v overwhelming and I've a weak stomach so like nearly all men on the night it's tshirt over your face. Excellent night highly recommended

We have been to the Comedy Boat 3 or 4 times and as usual the comedy show was excellent, but the dining experience before the show has really gone downhill .The price has gone up but the choice on the menu has been reduced. On our last visit --14/10/23--,we were seated in what a I would call the cargo hold, a room with no windows .Once down here the staff forget all about you and you have to go upstairs to find a waiter to order .The food ,when it did arrive, at the right table ,was very poor .As it was getting near the start time for the show we had to chase the waiter again for our desserts ,which when they did arrive ,to be told to hurry as the show would start in 10 mins.

This was a complete change to what we’d normally do for a night out! The food on the boat is ok and simple. It came quickly and we had no real complaints just nice ordinary food. The Comedians that night were disappointing but it’s all the luck of the evening with who you see. One guy (Irish) was funny with good old humour and somethings we can all relate to. But the other two were extremely coarse. We are not prudes at all but hearing about sex constantly was one thing but going into detail about ‘cum’ dribbling and the different descriptions of inside a vagina was plain boring. One of them was a lesbian and went into such detail that nearly everyone in there was cringing rather than laughing. Such a shame if that is now comedy. Just a disappointing choice that night but glad we went. If you stay there are late drinks and disco!

Is it open to under 18s

I'm afraid the show is 18 years plus due to licencing restrictions of the venue. ID may be required.

Does everywhere you sit have a table? Is the seating comfy and is there easy access for a pregnant woman?
Thanks

No tables, chairs are ok, I would not think it would be a problem for a pregnant woman, there were people there with walking sticks.
Hope this helps.
