Enjoyment of a comedy club depends a great deal on the comedians there, however, having visited the Comedy Store many times I feel qualified to offer an opinion.The Comedy Club is a fairly pricey night out compared to other comedy venues and nights, but as soon as you step inside the building you see why. Set under the arches of the Deansgate locks, the long bar seen on entry is spacious enough to accommodate the comedy seekers before the show begins, and during the breaks in performances. Downstairs is another bar area with tables and chairs which accommodate smaller comedy performances and at times live music. The main seating area is a large theatre area with tiered seating all face-on to the stage. The general feeling of comfort and cleanliness is far greater than that of the other comedy venues I have attended in Manchester. If you don't mind paying slightly more than the other venues, you will get your money's worth.

With venues in both Manchester and London, The Comedy Store is the most widely recognised comedy venue in the UK. Situated on the trendy Deansgate Locks, the venue has recently celebrated its 8th birthday. The Comedy store hosts a huge number of events, from weekly and monthly regulars, to one-off performances from some of the world's best comedians. Their New Stuff night is a favourite with students. Occurring on the second and last Sunday of each month, New Stuff is absolutely free and features established comedians trying out their new material.

Always a great laugh! I've only ever been on the free Sunday night which is on the first and last Sunday of every month. Simply turn up on the night and you get to watch some good comedians for free, trying out their new stuff. It can be a bit hit and miss, but there's always a couple of acts so normally at least half of them are good I've found. Never been on another night, looks too expensive for a poor student like me, especially considering you can go for free but I'm sure it's a good time and better if you can afford it!

Have visited the Comedy store a few times over the years and always enjoyed it. It's a great start to the night out, especially if you are going to go around deansgate locks afterwards. a great start to the evening, and a great way to get you in the mood for a night out.
