Downstairs at The King's Head

Downstairs at The King's Head One of London's Best Loved little Venues

# We are perhaps best known as one of the oldest Comedy Clubs in Britain specialising in presenting great entertainment in a friendly and intimate environment.
# Founded in 1981 by Peter Grahame and Huw Thomas, we now present shows throughout the week that champion the Best of the New, be it Comedy, Music of all persuasions, Spoken Word, Magic and Dance. A favourite of Audiences and Performers, the venue prides itself on creating the right ambience for each event and providing unbeatable value for money.
# With a capacity of 120 persons, the club boasts an excellent live PA system, fully stocked bar, air conditioning and comfortable seating
# You'd be hard pushed to find any of the top comics who haven’t passed through our doors on their way up and we are privileged to find that most continue to perform with us long after they have become `too big’

Yet again, many thanks to everyone who attended the shows last week. (Note: Shows often sell out. Ensure you book in advance to guarantee entry.)
The next Legendary Try Out Night is on Thursday 8th October. Up to 14 new and established acts presenting fresh material - this week compered by HOWARD SMITH.
THEN, there's a lovely comedy show on Saturday 10th OCTOBER featuring PRINCE ABDI, KUAN-WEN HUANG, TOBY ADAMS, LES KEEN, AND ACT TBA and CHARMIAN HUGHES as MC.
Don't forget Crouch End Jazz on Sunday afternoons (4-7pm).
Hope to see you soon, again or for the first time. Shows are busy, so it's best (and cheaper) to book but there are tickets available on the door if not sold out (card purchase only).
And...the pub has a very special offer for ticket holders to our shows. On arrival you will be given a token that can be used after the show until closing time entitling you to 20% OFF drinks and snacks. (Can also be used during the interval on Thursdays).
