If you’ve got a big weekend planned in the Scottish capital with your other half or a group of friends, you’ll no doubt want to organise the best night out possible. Fortunately, Edinburgh comedy clubs have made the choice of venue a little bit easier – forget about a dingy club and music you don’t even like, why not sample the delights of a comedy show instead?
The new kid on the Scottish comedy block is Highlight, and the brand of clubs, which has risen from the ashes of the now defunct Jongleurs, has set up shop in the comedy world’s spiritual home: Edinburgh. A city famed for its annual festival, visitors to the Scottish capital can now enjoy belly laughs all year round by purchasing comedy tickets and heading to the Omni Centre.
So what can you expect from a Highlight stand up show? Well, some serious laughing for starters. A comedy show takes place each Friday and Saturday night at the 300-capacity venue, with upcoming names such as Saleem Mohammad, Sean Grant and Curtis Walker all on the bill this summer. In case you’re not familiar with them, remember where you heard their names first – it’s only a matter of time before they make it big.
It’s not just about the jokes at comedy clubs, however. At Highlight you can expect an all-encompassing evening out. When the stand up acts are over, you can stay and dance to the best chart, party and cheese music until the wee hours. If you’re heading to the comedy club with a large group of people, why not have your own private after party in the adjoining bar? This is a great idea if you’re organising a stag or hen party – laugh and dance the night away while never having to travel to more than one venue.
Highlight hasn’t just established itself in Edinburgh – by accommodating more than 1,200 comedians across the UK, you can be sure of finding a comedy show near you. If you’re in the north of England looking for a new kind of evening out then you may have considered Leeds comedy clubs and if not, why not?
The West Yorkshire city has a party reputation and attracts revellers from neighbouring Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Harrogate every Friday and Saturday night. If, like many, you walk the streets for far too long looking for a club after the pubs have shut, you’ll know how important it is to make the most of your night out.
Fortunately, Highlight has it covered – head to its huge 1,500-capacity venue in the Cube complex in Leeds city centre. In addition to some fantastic comedy shows, this Highlight venue has two dance floors and a number of bars to suit different moods and occasions. The venue also encompasses Bar Risa, which stays open until 3am on Thursdays and Saturdays, meaning you can enjoy a drink long after the comedy has drawn to a close at 11pm.
With the likes of Paul Tonkinson, Ron Vaudry and Dominic Woodward on the bill this summer, you can expect a night of laughing out loud before heading to the dance floor and strutting your stuff to some 70s, 80s and 90s classics.
If you and your party really want to push the boat out, you can enjoy a meal and a glass of wine before the comedy begins. Then it’s just a case of sitting back and letting your stomach do the hard work before getting a couple more drinks in and partying for the rest of the night. With all three weekend night out options available under a single roof, you needn’t worry about traipsing around looking for a venue that will suit everyone.
What if you’re looking for Birmingham comedy clubs? Will you have to travel all the way to Leeds to experience the ideal night out with friends? Luckily, no – Highlight has the premier venue on Broad Street, the centre of the second city’s party-going area. Boasting six rooms and seven bars, the comedy show can accommodate 395 people with comedy tickets, while the adjacent club has a whopping capacity of 2,400 people. Highlight’s flagship venue, Birmingham hosts comedy shows each Thursday, Friday and Saturday and has won numerous awards over the last seven years.
Shows begin at 20:15 on Thursdays and Fridays and 20:30 on Saturdays, giving you plenty of time to have a pre-show drink in Bar Risa, which is also home to Thursday’s after party. The after show events on the weekend are held over two floors, meaning you can really make the most of your night out. And with names such as Rob Collins, Mandy Knight and Liam Mullone, you can guarantee that your belly will get a good workout with all the laughing.
Wherever you are in the UK, there’ll be a Highlight comedy club near you. With such a fantastic package of entertainment on offer, guests can really make the most of their time by pre-ordering their food, if they choose to have a meal, online, meaning Highlight can do all the hard work for you, letting you sit back and enjoy the evening.
Thanks to the Highlight venues’ capacities, a comedy show is a great way to spend a stag night. So before publically humiliating the groom by tying him to the nearest lamppost and removing his clothes, why not give him a night that he’s happy to remember first?
If you’re mourning the loss of Jongleurs, it’s time to grieve no more. Granted, Highlight may be the best secret in live comedy, but it doesn’t look like remaining a secret for too much longer. With such a wide variety of entertainment on offer and its gradual spread across Britain, there has never been a better time to combine a traditional night out or evening meal with an evening of first-class live comedy.
