One star given in this review as the option of selecting zero stars is not possible. Very poor performance last night (3rd Nov'18) - especially Rob Delaney, who was supposed to be the 'Headline Act', who turned up just to chat based on bullet points written on a post-it note !

The compere Kiri Pritchard-McLane was good, as was the first act Jen Brister......but from then on the event went rapidly downhill. Angelos Epithemiou was OK as an 'Alternative Act', but then the screeching and very un-funny Rose Matafeo set the scene for a very poor end. The House Band were just about OK, if you like Jazz, but gave no charisma as the lead guitarist spent most of the night with his back to the audience.

The venue itself was impressive, but the seating was far too uncomfortable to sit through the show, especially with 2 uneccssary breaks disrupting the flow.

We won't be going back - as the Comedy Store in Leicester Square offers a much better experience all round.
