• "The staff are totally rude."
• "Another security guard asked my friend to step on the side and started telling her off saying she was rude to his staff etc."
• "The venue itself very good - apart from the fact of not letting people in (who just went to the toilet) a few mins after show started! Poor effort."

Accessibility and Facilities

Pros:

• "It is quite small but brilliantly positioned just off Leicester Square."
• "The theatre was a great venue and easy to get to from Leicester Square station, a few minutes walk away."
• "This place has a place in my heart! I have seen so many of my comedy hero's here and the venue is just perfect and quirky!"
• "It's a small 400-seat theatre, so every seat will be good (apart from the couple in front of speakers right at the front)."
• "Seats are made for modern day people rather than diminutive Victorians and the leg room is good."
• "The seats are comfortable and set in a curve so all looking towards the middle of the stage."
• "Seats are very comfortable and since the venue is quite small, you have a great view no matter where you sit."

Cons:

• "No disabled toilet, steep stairs to the toilets were a bit scary."
• "It looks pretty run down. And had very strict rules. One the performance begins if you leave for the toilet you AIN'T getting backing."
• "Only access drawback is the steep stairs at entrance as the theatre is in the basement."
• "Frustrating that this venue isn't very wheelchair accessible because it's a listed building so they can't put lifts or anything in."
• "The main entrance is not fully accessible, and has a lot of stairs- call ahead if you need to make arrangements."
• "As someone with a disability, the amount of steps weren't ideal."
• "Not ideal for disabled access as steep stairs down."

Value and Experience

Pros:

• "The show was great, highly recommend it to anyone going to LTC."

• "A lovely experience for young and old alike. 5 gold stars."
• "Good venue for stand up comedy. Good sound. Good lighting. Comfortable seating."
• "Cheap, comfortable mid sized venue with excellent programme of acts."
• "You're guaranteed to see a really good show and a really good price unlike many places who will charge an arm and a leg."
• "Great selection of comedians perform there at about £20 a ticket (plus carer goes free)."

Cons:

• "It's dirty, it's expensive, it's stinks like pee and vomit."
• "Not sure it was worth the price l paid."
• "The worst place I have ever visited in london."
• "It is a bit tired inside, but that's why it doesn't cost £50 per person."
• "Comedians always make me laugh here but £6.50 for a 330ml can of lager takes the humour out of a visit."
• "We got some questionable seats right at the side which gifted me crink in the neck the next day."
• "Seats aren't tiered meaning it can be hard to see from the back plus I was constantly up and down as people were trying to get past."
