COMEDY

Since the 7th January 2008 The Good Ship Comedy Club (previously The Porthole Comedy Club) has been bringing the best in stand up to Kilburn every single Monday. Having become something of a local phenomenon, this award winning comedy club consistently sells out. Due to popular demand please email comedy@thegoodship.co.uk, to be put on the reserve list and guarantee entry. Tickets are just £5 each on the door, £4 in advance. We also advise people to arrive by 8 o'clock to avoid standing room only. Doors from 6pm and happy hour at the bar until 7pm. Acts start at 830pm sharp.

On 24th February 2009 The Porthole at The Good Ship was voted the best small comedy club in London! If you haven't already been before, come along and find out for yourselves! Chortle Awards 2009

Andrew Lawrence
‘Lawrence is certainly not for the faint hearted but for those that brave it is quite, quite brilliant' Chortle. ‘Where he truly shines is in his bilious streams of relentlessly cutting, staggeringly creative invective: once he sets his beady black eyes on a target, the acrid volleys of dextrously florid abuse unleashed could strip paint. Once he gets a head of steam going, he’s simply brilliant – and yes, wildly offensive,’ Metro.
