On Saturday night we went to Camberley Theatre comedy club.
We haven't been there before to see a show so wasn't quite sure what to expect, but as it turned out it was pretty much as you would expect... with tables/chairs scattered around the auditorium and the bar was open so you could take your drinks through.... in fact the bar (and the doors) was open throughout the performance so it was no problem to come and go as needed (provided you could survive the quips from the comic if you went out which they were on stage)
The first comic started a bit later than advertised, apparently due to problems with the trains... he was kind of OK but no more than slightly amusing. He seemed more interested in finding out about the audience than trying to entertain the audience.
After a break the second comic was slightly better, in that she did tell a couple of pretty funny stories but overall was not a rib tickler
We were a little disappointed so far, but got another drink in the next break and waited for the headliners set. As it turned out, he was hilarious and really got the audience going. He did a lot of funny stories and did a bit of audience ribbing as well and really showed up the previous two acts as being pretty shoddy by comparison.
The last act really made the evening worthwhile and felt we did get value for money (apart from the bar which was hugely overpriced!!)
Would we go again ? Yes, I think we would.... it is a good night out and if you get tanked up before going in, wouldn't need to cost a great deal either
The next Comedy Club is April 11th and seems to be run every six weeks or so
