We enjoyed a brilliant evening of comedy for a work party. Great atmosphere and a fun evening had by all. I left my phone there and staff went above and beyond to ensure its safe return. Can’t thank you enough. Highly recommend, definitely worth a visit!

Well laid out format with small tables for the audience. Not the most intimate environment like some comedy clubs and was a bit soulless when the audience wasn't full. Holds about 150 and good sight of the stage for everyone. Qr codes for table service from friendly efficient staff. Entrance is off Theatre Walk not Hurst Street for those following Google maps.

Absolutely amazing night out every time, plus the food is incredible. (Note for those with claustrophobia - the tables are thin and very close together. You'll be shoulder to shoulder for some of these nights so prepare for that.) 100% worth every penny each time, excellent lineups each week

Great night out. Very funny acts. Started around 8 was finished by 9.45 with 2 intervals. Table service. Had a cocktail pitcher £28. Full of ice, so you have to drink quick or your drinks watered down. Churros £5.50. Re-heated, slightly hard and barely warm. Didn’t try any other food but other people’s did look good.

Thoroughly enjoyable Father Ted experience with Joe Rooney (aka delinquent priest Damo Lennon from the Old Grey Whistle Theft). Rooney's mix of stand up and interactive entertainment is a hoot whether or not you're a Ted disciple. The intimate upstairs room with seating for approx 150 was packed and it was a great atmosphere and experience. I had doubts how the blend would work on stage but they were quickly dispelled - Rooney's enthusiasm and humour are infectious. I think the Ted 'bond' in the audience really helped. Only criticism is the ridiculously long bar queue in the interval.

Modern, stylish set up, had interesting non alcoholic options available. Efficient flow of people traffic between floors, well laid out room with good eyeline to stage wherever you sit. This was our second visit and great both times. There are loads of interesting places to eat nearby and parking just to the side of the plaza where Glee Club is based.

I went to see Tom Houghton, a comedian on a Sunday night. The seating was allocated and clearly marked out both in the room and on a handy leaflet guide issued on arrival. Each seat had a narrow table for drinks and food from the in-house menu. The back row on the two sides were each raised to make viewing the stage easier.
There were lots of ladies, loos, so the queue was not long.
There were steps up from the reception area/ bar into the main studio and I think you would have to ask if there was wheelchair access.
Great staff throughout the venue.

Got tickets to see Steve Hall & Steve Williams in the Studio, which is the small room holding around 150 people. Nice and easy to get in and find seats. The bar downstairs serves Shipyard, which we like and the doors opened 8pm on the dot . Both Steve's were very entertaining and we had a great night out there.
We would definitely recommend this venue.

Absolutely fantastic experience apart from two drunk woman who kept heckling the comedians. I'd happily go back again and again!
Food was reasonably priced and the quality was actually pretty good, couldn't complain!
Be sure to try the Brooklyn brewery Special Effects non/low alcoholic beer, it was surprisingly good!

Visited there on the other day for a comedy show and found that it is very live and friendly place. Just it is a bit hard to find entrance of the building (where on the side) Here is find more info online about the place:
