A night built on variety and pace
If you're planning a date night, meeting friends or grabbing last-minute tickets, you want a bill that keeps moving and gives you more than one comic voice. We curate stand up comedy shows with mixed line-ups of up to five performers, bringing together household television names, award-winning circuit acts, rising stars and experienced MCs. Across House Of Stand Up nights, you might spot credits from Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, QI, Britain's Got Talent, The Last Leg and 8 Out of 10 Cats. That range helps each show feel lively from the first introduction to the final headline set, and the listing makes it easy to see what kind of night you're booking.
Choose the format that suits your night
Some evenings are regular club nights with sharp mixed bills. Others are touring headline shows, festival appearances, Christmas or New Year specials, or a magic, mentalism and comedy night advertised as its own format. Most events are for adults aged 18 and over, with strong language and naughty material often part of the fun, so you can book knowing the tone in advance. We ask you to treat line-ups as advertised at the time of booking, while remembering that acts can change. House Of Stand Up event pages also tell you when doors open, usually at least 30 minutes before show time, so arrival feels calm rather than rushed.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a typical live show?
Most nights use a mixed-bill format with an experienced MC and up to five comedians drawn from television names, circuit acts and newer talent. Exact line-ups vary by event, and advertised acts can change, so the listing for your chosen show is the best guide.
Are the shows suitable for under 18s?
Usually not. Most live comedy nights are intended for adults aged 18 and over and may include strong language, naughty jokes and other adult material. If you are booking for a mixed-age group, check the individual event listing carefully before buying tickets.
When should we arrive for the show?
Club-venue doors usually open at least 30 minutes before the performance, which gives you time to get in, find your seats or a good spot, and settle before the show begins. Arriving early is especially useful if several of you are meeting at the venue.
