London Comedy

The English are famous for their occasionally dry, sophisticated wit and often ridiculous ("We are the knights who say Ni!") sense of humor. This humor continues to thrive in the standup and sketch comedy clubs throughout the city. Check Time Out for listings, but be warned that the city virtually empties of comedians come August when it’s festival time in Edinburgh.
