Jongleurs: Ah, the Starbucks of comedy clubs! Jongleurs lacks the focused intensity of more
straightforward clubs; expect stag nights, hen nights and corporate dos in this altogether less discerning audience. Comedy is a performance art and demands full concentration. The environment should feature bright lights, body heat, and an intense atmosphere; it shouldn’t come with dinner tables not facing the stage (allowing, people to chat among themselves during the act), and a post-show disco.

Don’t get me wrong, Jongleurs does attract some great comedians and as a place to go for an occasional laugh, it’s fine. But if I am being honest it is not for me.

You can use this review as a guide for all Jongleurs - because much like Starbucks, they stay very much the same.

Price:            £14 to £17.00 per ticket – not always the best value when you look at some of the acts on the bill.
Acts:            Usually 4-5 acts will do a set per night and if you are lucky you may have heard of two of them – if you are lucky!
Atmosphere:  Corporate events, work parties and stag and hen nights are the norm.
