As the UK's Home of Free-thinking Comedy it sells out monthly stand-up comedy shows in London, Leeds and Manchester.The club hosts counter-cultural comedians, celebrates free-thinking comedy and takes a stand against censorship by showcasing cancelled comedians and organising gigs against censorship laws.
