Afternoon comedy club

A comedy club, in the afternoon.

Everything you want from a comedy night, just earlier. Professional stand-up for workplaces, community groups and anyone who would rather not be out late.

Not everyone wants a night out

Most comedy happens after dark, which quietly rules a lot of people out. Staff who need to get home, groups who do not want to travel in the evening, audiences who would simply rather go out in daylight. The comedy is not the problem, the time is.

So we run the same thing in the afternoon. The same acts, the same format, the same room full of people laughing, finishing while it is still light.

How it works

What you get

Comedians we know

We are comedians ourselves and we only suggest acts we have worked with or booked. Daytime rooms are their own skill, and not every act has it.

Pitched at your audience

We tailor the material to the people in the room, and keep it completely clean where you need it to be.

We handle the running

The bill, the order, the sound, the timings. You pick the room and the date, we take care of making it feel like a comedy club.

If you came looking for team building

Plenty of people start there. They want their team to have a good time together, and team building is the phrase that comes to mind. Then it turns out nobody wants to take part in anything, they just want to sit down and laugh.

If that is you, an afternoon comedy club is probably what you are after. If you do want your people involved rather than watching, our comedy team building workshops are the other way round: everyone takes part, with no jokes to prepare.

Raising money rather than entertaining staff? A comedy fundraising night works the same way and can also be run in the afternoon.

Common questions

What is an afternoon comedy club?

It is the same thing as a comedy night, just earlier. Professional stand-ups, a room set up for comedy and an audience having a proper laugh, run in the afternoon instead of the evening.

Who is it for?

Anyone an evening does not suit. Workplaces putting on something for staff, community and social groups, charities, and audiences who would rather be home before dark. If you were looking at team building but really just want everyone to enjoy themselves, this is usually the better fit.

Is it the same as comedy team building?

No. Team building is a workshop where your people take part. An afternoon comedy club is a show, so they sit back and watch. People often start by asking about one and find the other is what they actually wanted.

Where can you run it?

Wherever you have a room that works, your own offices, a hall, a club or a venue we help you find. We book comedians right across the UK.

Is the comedy clean?

It can be. We tailor the material to the audience and keep it completely clean where you need it to be, the same as we do for corporate bookings. We only suggest acts we have worked with or booked ourselves.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the acts, the length and where you are, so we quote every one individually. Tell us what you have in mind, including your budget, and we will tell you honestly what it buys.

Fancy a comedy club in the afternoon?

Tell us who it is for and roughly when, and we will come back with what it would take.

We usually reply the same working day.
