What's on
The SHOW DIARY is below - including Edinburgh Fringe shows during August, and other festivals at other times of the year - and at the end there is a footnote about secret gigs etc.
AmusedMooseComedy produces shows in Soho and the West End from October to July, and also in Edinburgh during the Fringe in August and at other comedy festivals.
AmusedMooseComedy is Soho's only multi-awardwinning comedy club, which has the accolade of topping TimeOut's Top Ten comedy venues in London, and won the Comedy Producer of the year award in 2006!
So here's a great big thank you to everyone in our audiences, plus comedians and industry folk too, who voted for 'The Moose' in those polls.
It's unanimous ... AmusedMoose Comedy brings you the best VALUE-FOR-MONEY, QUALITY comedy nights anywhere in London:
Every Saturday (except late July to the end of Sept) AmusedMooseSoho is at Moonlighting Nightclub, 17 Greek Street, Soho W1. (Tubes: Leicester Square/Tottenham Court Rd).
And there's After Show too - very late bar for chatting plus DJ and dancing (until 5am!)
On many weeknights there are hugely entertaining comedy shows in the Arts Theatre Comedy Cellar (Leicester Sq tube's exit 3, then right into Great Newport St) under the banner of AmusedMoose WestEnd, such as:
- awardwinning shows from rising stars and secret gigs from well-known comedians prepping for tours + television specials + international festivals, and charity shows,
- qualifying rounds and heats of AmusedMoose LaughOff (in association with 4DVD),
- Edinburgh Fringe Previews as co-productions with the Arts Theatre, and
- comedy course graduates showcases.
Gift vouchers for AmusedMooseComedy shows in London are an inspired, popular present, and are redeemable for 12 months (vouchers arrive by post in a few days) .... how to order these can be found below.

Sometimes on what appears to be a regular comedy night, the line-up may change, sometimes at the last minute - indeed, from time to time that's how "secret gigs" happen! Our most recent 'comedian who cannot be named' turned out, to everyone's delight, to be BAFTA and Golden Globe winner Stephen Merchant who enjoyed himself so much he'll be back in the next couple of months, again unannounced.
