    Recently went to a Thursday night Comedy Carnival. It was a fantastic evening. We opted for the dinner and show option and chose Cote. Great value for money, food was amazing. Got to the comedy venue at around 7:30pm, got the drinks in (reasonably priced) and then went to seats. The show was so funny, honestly belly laughing through it. We were a party of five, including three 18 year old lads (son’s birthday) and they enjoyed it too. Tears of laughter at points. Something for everyone in their sets. Great night out, highly recommended.

    What an awesome night! I got given these tickets as a Christmas present and I couldn't of had a better evening! The venue was great, all the comedians and hosts were all really funny and had different styles. I will come back soon.

    Amazing evening, the four acts that we saw on a Saturday night we're all absolutely brilliant. The atmosphere is perfect, it's not a big venue making for a really good and intimate setting

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    All the acts were hilarious! The venue had an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The PA was not too loud, but the perfect volume for the size and acoustic properties of the space. The drinks were reasonably priced (for London) and you didn't have to wait too long to get one. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only minor negative was the condition of toilet and the queue for it. I would certainly recommend to friends and hope to return myself!

    We had a really good time. The comedians were great, all equally funny. Bar staff were friendly and it didn't take long to be served. Timings were prompt, no waiting around. Money well spent.

    What a hoot! Had such a good time at a great venue with a funny and original group of comedians. I highly recommend that everyone gives this a try!

    Highly recommended. It was our first time going to a comedy club and we were not disappointed! We had a great night filled with laughter. The comedians were really good and interactive. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Lewis W. 5 months ago on Google
    28/09/23 Had a fantastic experience at the Wonderville comedy club. Bar staff were excellent all night, quick and efficient service. Host was fantastic throughout introducing each act brilliantly. The comedians were out of this world, providing incredible material and constant laughs throughout. 10/10 would thoroughly recommend. Definitely coming back.

  • 5/5 Maria A. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to comedy clubs since 1985 so I have many experiences. This is a well run and well managed club with great staff, a bar in the venue and good clean facilities. The line up was excellent with a great compere and three quality comics. Highly recommend. Still laughing a day later.

  • 5/5 Rachel T. 7 months ago on Google
    What a fantastic night! The comedians were so funny, my husband and I both said that we hadn't laughed so much in a long time. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back when in London.

    Comedy Carnival Leicester Square is a gem! The venue is inviting, the bar staff are fantastic, and the comedians had us in stitches. A must-visit for a fun-filled night out!

  • 5/5 Wendy H. 4 months ago on Google
    Our first visit to the Comedy Carnival. I had booked a package first we had a delicious 3 course meal at Côte . After we walked to the Comedy Carnival, which took about 9 minutes. We were made welcome at the door and a lovely lady showed us to our seats. We made our way to the bar and got a couple drinks. Such a great experience and definitely lots laughs throughout the evening. Highly recommend this!

  • 5/5 Michael B. 4 months ago on Google
    Wonderful Saturday night out as a gift from our daughters - we will definitely be returning after seeing 4 top quality comics. The venue is great (albeit the seats were perhaps a bit close together for our liking!). We would both highly recommend this to others if you're looking for a fun night out 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Kathleen S. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely class acts — all comedians were extremely funny and had great jokes. The location was very clean, very intimate and well set up. Friendly members of staff and just good vibes all round. I’d happily go again. Thank you Comedy Carnival!

  • 5/5 Tor O. 4 months ago on Google
    Such good fun ! Amazingly funny comedians at really good value. I thought we’d be oldies (50s) but really good mix of people & it went down a storm. Lots of laughs & really can’t recommend it enough - lifted our spirits !

  • 5/5 Georgia M. 4 months ago on Google
    The venue was very easy to find and very nice. The comedy acts were all very funny, especially the host for the show. A good laugh for a couple or a group of friends, would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Carlo F. 2 years ago on Google
    I spent 2 solid hours laughing. The host was great, and the comedians were escalating in keeping the audience entertained. I had an excellent time, the location is cosy and the prices fair. Worth going!

  • 5/5 Jordan B. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite comedy venue in London! The comedians are always brilliant, the compare is hilarious, staff are friendly and the place turns into a club afterwards which you get free entry to. Would definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Justine H. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time. The comedians were extremely funny, a bit raw at times but you can expect that and it made it even more hilarious. The venue is perfect, drinks reasonably priced especially in happy hour. We went with the food package with Pizza Express so made a full evening of it. A great night out, we shall be going again on our next visit to London.

  • 5/5 Chloe B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had such a great night. Something really fun and engaging to watch. Perfect staffing at the venue and the comedians we saw on opening night cracked us both up! Would definitely recommend if you’re after a smaller venue that holds in all the laughs :)

  • 5/5 Lisa G. 2 years ago on Google
    An evening of laughing.. the best kind of evening! I have been to the comedy carnival three times now and I'm looking forward to going again! I have seen different comedians every time I've been. Good value for money. We stayed in bar Rumba after one of the evenings there and it is a good nightclub; great music :)

  • 4/5 Lee Gaughan Brown (Lee G. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the evening, had some good acts, my favourite being Radu, the problem though was the size of the venue, very tight, like literally 12 (basic school sized) seats in a row with a 1ft wide aisle down the middle. We were practically sitting on each others laps. Very difficult to get in and out of seats for drinks for the bar. The remove these seats after the show for music and dancing, but by this time we'd already had a long day so chose to call it a night. The image is of the stage, it will give a good idea of the cosiness of the venue.

  • 5/5 Laura H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Comedy Carnival was amazingly good fun. From start to finish our sides were splitting - the MC, Josh Howie, really got the crowd going and just made it so much more enjoyable. There were 3 other comedians, most memorable name was Simom Brodnick - unfortunately beer has made me forget the other 3 names, but each one was a funny as the other. A fantastic night out in Central London, in a really lovely venue.

  • 4/5 Jonathan S. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great time last Thursday attending Comedy Carnival with a friend. The comics were entertaining and the venue great (I never knew it existed before this, my first visit!). I look forward to visiting again and enjoying even more of the live comedy on offer!

  • 5/5 Molly H. 2 years ago on Google
    Me & my boyfriend had a great night out, the acts were funny and had everyone laughing. Would definitely do this again!

  • 5/5 Barney S. 2 years ago on Google
    Hilarious night and great value for money. Location is easy to find and the drinks weren’t typical “London” prices. All comedians bought different styles of comedy. Great night for a first date.

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a very good night at comedy carnival, the acts were really funny and the drink service was good with lots of different choices of drinks. Would definitely recommend to anybody for a night out.

  • 5/5 Jack D. 2 years ago on Google
    Myself and my girlfriend went to the comedy night on the 23rd July and it was fantastic. There were 3 great acts who had us and the rest of the audience laughing out loud all night. The host was brilliant aswell. The venue was really easy to get to and had 2 bars running so there was no wait to get any interval drinks. I would 100% recommend to anyone, we are already looking at buying tickets to an event in the next few weeks

  • 5/5 Emily P. 2 years ago on Google
    The Comedy Carnival was fantastic! I’’d never been to the Comedy Carnival before but I will certainly go again! The comedians and host were all very skilled and had everyone laughing all evening. The staff at the venue were friendly and polite and I felt safe at all times. The reasonably cozy venue adds to the atmosphere of the evening. Thank you to all the team who made this such an unforgettable experience!!
