Looking for comedy in London tonight? Then start limbering up those face muscles because there are plenty of cracking line-ups at London's comedy clubs this very evening. Here's a few of the comedy shows we recommend, plus a choice of budget-friendly free gigs.
With little in the way of tech or overheads, stand-up comics are typically good to go after the Christmas break, with little of the sleepy start to the year experienced by the other arts. January is a fairly typical month, then, with a lively mix of shows of all size and stature, with the biggest news probably the return of Natalie Palimedes’s tour de force Weer, fresh from a blockbuster off-Broadway run.
There are far, far too many one-off, multi-performer comedy nights in London for us to compile a single coherent page with our favouites on, which is entirely to London’s credit. So do check individual bills of comedy clubs online for that sort of thing. But if you’re looking for an individual comedian with a full headline show then this page is here to compile the Time Out editorial team’s top choices, often with our reviews from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
