went last night, against my better judgement to the usual 4 commedians thing - one okay, one indifferent, two shit as ususal.

great situated and not too shabbily laid out venue, could be great, but...

what is up with the way they treat people?

let's not get started on the nanny-state 'comedy booming voice' anouncements about switching your mobile phone off - treat people like shit but say cunt and it'll be funny and okay - lets just talk about the bar policy..

it's expensive, horrendously so - over 3 quid for pint

you can't get a drink durring the acts

they do this thing where the officially close the bar at the start of the second half - meaning that they can say 'drinking up time has gone' the mintue the act is over and shove you out the door - twats

it's always at twenty to eleven so there isn't time to go anywhere else before closing by the time you get everyone out. ten minutes earlier and you could get last orders somewhere else - ten minutes later and it woudn't matter so much - it almost seems like sadism.

all this 'not talking, not going to the bar' durring the commedians - what the fuck is that about? the stand-ups art should be about dealing with noise & hecklers and dissruptions. that's what i do. the compere alway has to spend ten minutes making jokes about 'whooping like ammericans' 'is there anyone in from birmingham?" to get people to be brave enough to laugh they're so frightened of being chucked out or losing thier 'good behaviour bond'

that said it's still a million times better than jongleurs - but try real pub-based comedy if you get the chance, drink, heckle, interact - have fun.

By the halls of Valhalla, I HATE the Glee Club with a passion...

They seem to go out of their way to make the experience as painful as possible...from the abysmal drinks at abysmal prices to the oppressive atmosphere...

I cum in the eye of the Glee Club. I never went there because initially, it sounds like something involving a cartoon-style moose (think get-along-gang), but on wheels... maybe. Whatever, sounds rubbish but I have a hip-flask that can handle the most sober of events. (Thanks smithsonian in picadilly arcade, 2 years and it's still shiny)

I must agree with you all,

Went to the Glee for a Birthday night out, Thought the bar staff where ok when serving,

The alcohol was over priced for cheep beer & piss poor wine !

Comics poor to fair but spent more time slating the paying pubic then using there own material, the only one what I found funny was a cockney who was not “PC” for some of the audience but as he said “there only jokes”

Food again pricey for simple fair ! Fish finger sandwich ect (wow) Hard seating & piss poor tables sitting crammed so if someone moved it knock your drinks flying !

Oh if you got to the toilet be prepared to wait in the queue whist a few pretentious twats psycho analysing the jokes & comedians to see if they where funny ? & if they can laugh now !
