It's a bit late for me to give you the main piece of advice I'd give regarding gigs at the Comedy.

Who's the Promoter?

I thought you were going to ask about standup venues. Where is it?

I like the place. It's low ceilinged and sort of cosy but generally you get a good sound.

The bar is a bit expensive and also fairly mainstream and boring. However, the pub at the bottom of the street, opposite the Odeon, is really quite nice and a good place to have drinks pre-gig.

Due to the licence, they make bands run to their timeslot slavishly so unless you're running a 25min set you better start when you're told: this is to make sure the headline act don't get cut off.

Nicholas who runs Dead or Alive is a nice guy but you'll still have to pull 20 people or something to get paid, I think.

a big fan of the place, lacks atmosphere probably better suited to stand up gigs rather than music. If its a full band set up there may be some sound issues too, but that was only cos i was there on an acoustic night and a band headlined and the drums abused my very soul. Contrary to theogb i would say the bar is cheap considering the location, so much so that I sometimes bear the sterile atmosphere once in a while to benefit from a cheap pint while in Leicester square! Hope it goes well!

bad sound.
