Live Next To The Apollo is a warm, welcoming comedy night started in September 2023 by TV Producer Jonathan Stadlen, which has been selling out to packed audiences since day one and has built a strong local community audience in West London.
Every show features a specially selected line-up of the UK’s best comedians ready to make you laugh for less than the price of a pint on a Tuesday, and two pints and a packet of crisps on a Friday.
Our Tuesday shows include up to six brilliant acts a night in an evening of stellar stand-up comedy bliss with tickets for just £6.50!
Our ‘All-Star’ Friday shows feature the UK's best comics, our favourite comedians from the Tuesday shows and superstar headliners all on one extraordinary Friday extravaganza - for just £12 a ticket.
Previous acts have included everyone from Jen Brister (Live at the Apollo) to Ian Stone (Mock The Week), Tom Ward (Live at the Apollo) to Desiree Burch (Taskmaster), Esther Manito (Live at the Apollo) to Jeff Innocent (British Comedian of The Year).
Every Tuesday and Friday show has a Comedy Store level Opener and Headliner, and all profits go the acts on stage.
Want to know what a comedy club should feel like? Then get along to Live Next To The Apollo. Friendly, intimate, un-intimidating - a great night out with consummate, eclectic and articulate talent. Great value, great location and an affable, engaging host. You're missing out and no one told you.

Seriously funny - a must see! I’ve been going regularly for a year now, and we laugh ourselves silly every time. It’s become an absolute highlight in our calendars! A special shoutout to the host, Jonathan. He is super friendly and effortlessly funny - a huge part of what makes the night so special! I’d highly recommend this night to anyone and everyone. You won’t regret it!
