Nestled in the atmospheric crypt of the Grade I listed St George’s Church, the Museum combines history with modern performance spaces and a welcoming bar, perfect for every taste.
Since opening, the Museum has become a favourite spot for discovering the next big names in comedy. Regular shows such as the Monday Club give rising comedians the chance to test out fresh material in a laid-back, supportive atmosphere, while annual competitions such as Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year and Sketch Off have helped launch the careers of talents including Rob Beckett, Rachel Parris, and Bilal Zafar. For those still chasing that big break, there’s even a tongue-in-cheek Not So New Comedian of the Year contest.
