Creatures Comedy Club

Creatures Comedy Club is an independent venue in the Northern Quarter with acts on stage seven nights a week. It’s a good place to catch local talent as well as bigger names trying out new material.

It’s an intimate New York-style basement club with first-come-first-served seating so get there early if you want a good view (but also want to avoid being the unwitting front row punchline).

Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays have three shows a night with the last gig not kicking off till 11pm so it’s a good place to go if you’re looking for a late night venue.

The Friday and Saturday Night Showcase and the Late Night Comedy are the best sessions to catch international stars doing low-key warm-ups, as well as homegrown comedy heroes.

After the comedians, you’ll find karaoke. Let’s face it, watching your mate belt out a bit of Cher is comic gold too.
