Point and Laugh

Posted by / . Who's Who

Everybody needs a midweek pick-me-up, and we love the new stand up comedy open mic nights by Point and Laugh. For a mere £3 you can enjoy the comedy talents of a great hand-picked line-up, and if you need more reasons to go, we’ve made it easy for you….

  1. Walkabout in Covent Garden’s Piazza is incredibly easy to find and transport links are endless.
  2. £3 is a bargain for a night of laughs, giggles, chortles and guffaws.
  3. Smiling will be easy peasy because Happy Hour is until 8pm! Impress your date with how cultured you are, and avoid a wheezing wallet with selected drinks at £2.50.
  4. After 8pm food and drink will be 20% off so even if you’re on the fence, the truth is you can’t afford not to go.

We went to the last open mic night and can honestly recommend it to all, whether you want to dip your toes in the world of stand-up comedy as a performer, or share a great night as part of the audience.

Come down and support the Arts! We’ll be there, and we hope to see you too.
