Stand-up night from The Comedy Store, 'The Best In Stand Up', with some of the brightest stand-up names from around the globe.
The Comedy Store is coming to The Albany Theatre on Friday 20 November, as part of their On The Road tour. The show is called The Best In Stand Up, and it brings together a line-up of stand-ups from around the globe rather than a single headliner. It's a proper showcase night, so you'll get several different acts on one bill instead of one person doing a full set.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, the club itself has been around for nearly 40 years and is known as a breeding ground for new talent. Some of the biggest names in British comedy first cut their teeth there: Eddie Izzard, John Bishop, Jimmy Carr, Rhod Gilbert and Sarah Millican all started out on the Comedy Store stage. Time Out once described it as still the greatest and most influential comedy club on the planet, and that's the same outfit bringing the show to Coventry.
There's a local side to the night too. The Albany Theatre is a charity run with the help of volunteers, and £1 from every ticket goes to its Theatre Development Fund, so a bit of your entry fee stays with the venue. The show runs for around two hours, and the age guidance is 16+, so it's one for an adult crowd rather than a family outing.
