LOL Comedy Club

LOL Comedy Club is back at The Piano Bar in the Regent Theatre on Saturday 21 November, part of a run that keeps going until the end of the year. It's a stand-up night that takes over the bar, and the club is billed as a showcase of live comedy drawn from the breadth of the UK circuit, with performers known for astute observations and universally relatable tales. The line-up changes from night to night, so you'll get a different set of comics each time.

The venue itself is worth a mention if you've never been. The Piano Bar is inside the Regent Theatre, which opened in 1929 as a cinema and has since become one of the city's leading touring venues. It's seen its fair share of big names over the years, with War Horse, Mamma Mia! and Jersey Boys all playing through here, and it's part of a £23 million city centre development that's changed the face of the area. The comedy club takes over the bar rather than the main stage, which keeps things a bit more intimate.

Because it's a regular night and not a one-off, it's easy to fit into a Saturday evening without having to plan your whole weekend around it. The club runs right through to 31 December, so if you miss this one, there are plenty more to choose from before the year is out. Tickets are £20.63 through ATG Tickets, and the show starts at 20:00, with doors open from 19:00.
