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: £8 - £10 - better than the London prices but still a bit steep.
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.

If you’re in Cardiff looking for attractions, why not avoid the crowds, and do something different by visiting some famous Cardiff film sets.
