99 Club Leicester Square Reviews Summary

Comedy Quality

Pros:

• "The comedians the night I went were good and I think it's well worth a visit."
• "10/10 experience - will definitely be returning."
• "An amazing evening of truly great comedians."
• "The comics were of varying quality but generally at the higher end and found myself laughing a lot."
• "All 3 of the comedians were absolutely hilarious and the MC was hilarious as well."
• "The acts brought up on stage from the MC's to the last act have all been brilliant!"
• "The comedians also engaged their audience very well with heckling done in great spirit, so don’t be put off!!"

Cons:

• "This was the first time I went to the 99 comedy place on the 23rd Nov and to be honest, the first two acts were very poor, not funny at all."
• "Comedy isn't that funny... don't expect belly laughs."
• "Two of the three acts were Americans delivering similarly boring and equally unoriginal sets."
• "It was so poor we left halfway through the second act, a guy who made up for not being funny by shouting his act out."
• "Comedy wise it was really poor, comedians were not super fun."
• "All 3 sets were dull. Their lack of wit and humour was remarkable."
• "The acts who were presented were not famous and, in my opinion, never likely to be."

Seating and Comfort

Pros:

• "Had a fantastic evening at the 99 club within the strand palace hotel, I couldn't believe how intimate the venue was so we never missed a thing."
• "Loved the intimate set up, so close to the comedians."
• "The staff were friendly, the comedians were good and the seats had plenty of space."
• "Choosing to have booked seats was great as we were right in the 2nd row."

• "The space was nicely decorated."

Cons:

• "Good place for comedy but really cramped."
• "The seating arrangements were super uncomfortable which took away from the experience."

• "Omg we were crammed in like sardines, the chairs I think were meant for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay as they were the most uncomfortable chairs ever."

• "Being packed in tight like sardines shoulder to shoulder on super uncomfortable plastic chairs."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Highly recommend going and excellent value for money."
• "Very good drink prices too absolutely will be returning!!!!"

Cons:

Facilities and Venue

Pros:

• "This is an awesome comedy club, right in the heart of the capital."
• "Nice cute little venue - forgot I was in the heart of tourist hell; Leicester Sq."
• "The venue was stunning and unique."
• "The venue is a little different but works so well."
• "Venue: good sound resonance & they provide free water."
• "The venue was very tightly packed in, no leg room (or personal space) and the chairs were really very uncomfortable!"
• "It's a great time in a very intimate environment where the audience sits in around 100 folding chairs on the floor of a restaurant in central London around a small stage."

Cons:

• "Bathrooms could be cleaner, they need to get that sorted."
• "Venue would benefit from having a mini-table or a rack to put your drinks on instead of the floor."
• "Venue was rubbish, we were crammed together on plastic chairs."
• "The venue could be a little better. The chairs are not very comfy, no air con and very cramped."
• "The venue, a bland room in the St Martins Hotel, lacks atmosphere and that detracts a little from the experience."
• "Only one functioning sink, and three toilet stalls to serve the whole place."
• "The event was advertised as being in Covent Garden, in reality it was in a really grim venue within university halls."

• "Only gave 4 stars because I found one of members of staff quite rude."
• "The only thing letting it down were the uncomfortable IKEA chairs and the constant talking from the crowd."
