GO Comedy In Glasgow |

Comedy clubs are quickly establishing themselves as the
ultimate night out because they offer the complete package
of hilarious entertainment, a slap-up meal and a disco
all rolled into one. And if you’re planning an evening at one of Glasgow’s funny venues then you won’t be disappointed as the city has a good selection, all with regular turns from first rate comedians. Perhaps the Scottish city’s most well known comedy club, The Stand [map], usually has an excellent line up of big names from the local and national circuit week in, week out. This club is sister to the one in Edinburgh and was, until fairly recently, Glasgow's only dedicated spot for laughs. Hot on the heels of The Stand was Jongleurs [map], a national chain of comedy clubs that opened its Glasgow venue in 2002, on the site of a legendary entertainment venue, the Glasgow Apollo. The club occupies the basement of the new UGC development and stands next to the UGC multiplex, one of the tallest cinemas in Europe and the biggest in Scotland. Facilities here include state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, moveable seating tables, a dance floor and a separate bar. You can also enjoy a nice meal before the show starts. Glasgow’s other venue dedicated entirely to making the punters laugh is The Vault Comedy Club [map], which is located in the city centre. The impressive building dates back to 1906 and housed the Glasgow Savings Bank until it closed seven years ago. Recently refurbished, it opened its doors again in November 2003 as a comedy club while still retaining many of the original features, such as the ornate ceiling, mosaic floor, wood panelling and gold mosaic wall. Based at the State Bar in Holland Street, the Madcap Comedy Club [map] has been a popular haunt for those looking for a few laughs since it first started in the late 1990s. Every Saturday night and once a month on a Tuesday, the Madcap gang take over and laughter is the name of the game. Also worth trying for its comedy shows is King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut [map] on St Vincent Street, which is where Oasis were first spotted (and signed). The club is most famous as a venue for local and well known bands that play here throughout the week, but the monthly comedy night is always brings in the crowds too. |
