About JK Comedy Club

JK Comedy Club is a live stand-up comedy venue in central London, founded in 2022. The club runs shows at Covent Garden (Arboretum, 2A Charing Cross Road, WC2H 0HF), Soho (Downstairs at The Spice of Life, 6 Moor St, W1D 5NA) and Leicester Square (Upstairs at the Grosvenor Casino - Rialto, Coventry St, W1D 6BL) — seven nights a week. Tickets start at just £8, making us one of the most affordable professional comedy venues in central London.

Our Story

JK Comedy Club was founded by local London comedians in 2022 because we wanted one simple thing: actually funny comedy at a good price in central London. Too many comedy nights in the city were either overpriced, inconsistent, or just not that funny. We knew we could do better.

Our focus from day one has been on the audience experience — making sure every person who walks through the door has a genuine laugh in a friendly, comfortable environment with nice staff and good drinks. That's it. No gimmicks, no overpriced tickets, no comedy by numbers. Just a room full of people having a great time.

We started with one venue in Soho and grew to four within two years. Today we run shows seven nights a week with lineups drawn from the London circuit, from newcomers trying fresh material to established acts you've seen on TV. Every show is organised by a different comedian from our team, which keeps the lineups fresh and the atmosphere electric.

Run by Comedians, for Everyone

Because we're comedians ourselves, we know what makes a great show: a good room, an engaged audience, and acts who actually want to be on stage. We handpick our venues for their atmosphere — intimate basements, upstairs rooms with character, and historic buildings with stories of their own. Our lineups feature acts who have appeared on Live at the Apollo, Comedy Central, Mock the Week and Netflix specials, alongside rising talent and new voices in British comedy.

Every night is different. Midweek shows feature fresh material nights where comedians try out new jokes in an intimate setting. Weekend shows bring headline acts and high-energy performances. Whether you are a comedy regular or seeing live stand-up for the first time, our shows are designed to be welcoming, funny, and memorable. Check what's on this week and book tickets from just £8.

Our Venues

All of our venues are in the heart of central London, within walking distance of Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and Piccadilly Circus tube stations. The rooms range from 51 to 200 seats — Covent Garden seats 200, Soho 60 and Leicester Square 51 — so wherever you sit, the stage is close and the atmosphere is loud.

The Covent Garden venue is Arboretum, a modern lounge venue with a living wall and a full bar at the foot of Charing Cross Road, by Trafalgar Square. Our Soho venue is downstairs in The Spice of Life, a pub with a tavern on site since 1750. The Leicester Square venue is upstairs at the Grosvenor Casino - Rialto, a Grade II listed building originally opened in 1913 as the Rialto cinema.

What We Believe

Everything is so expensive in London. We don't like that. We believe good comedy should be for everyone, so for the price of a pint you can have a night of laughter. Our intimate venues ensure every laugh feels personal, and our commitment to quality means you will always see talented comedians on stage.
