Bigger and only slighter brighter than its Ealing counterpart, the Chiswick Headliners club is also tucked away so that you feel as if, when entering, only you will know where it is. You go through the pub at the front to enter it where it opens up into a large dimly lit room. An expensive bar selling soft and alcoholic drinks as well as pretty good bar snacks like nachos and roasted nuts. not as intimate as Ealing but still a good night out with very funny comedians gracing the stage (in the past they have had Rich Hall and Bill Bailey).

Comedy nights in Chiswick 15th July 2007

Continuing on from Dharminder's review, I can comment on the comedy nights having been to one last night!

The George IV is a large pub with a large warehouse-type hall out back, where the Headliners Comedy Club is held several nights a week. All shows start at 9pm. Tickets are available on the door, but, if you're twitchy about turning up without a ticket, they may be booked in advance by phone. A small table may also be reserved, which is well worth having though only just large enough to accommodate four people, one rubber lobster (don't ask), four drinks, four empties, a basket of chips and a bottle of ketchup - but no more.

The chips were mine. What can I say? They were... uh... very hot and crispy. Mmm.

Service is carried out by a small army of smartly dressed and friendly girls who mostly seem to hail from Australia, with table service in the comedy club. We found the service to be very good, although rather too many chairs have been squashed into the venue, making me wonder how the people who were languishing in the sea of chairs several rows back fared for service. This is pure speculation, though.

So, what was the comedy itself like? Well, I think everyone there that night would agree that it didn't have us rolling in the aisles (impossible due to all the chairs anyhow) but it certainly raised a few smiles, and of course the line-up changes every week.

The George IV is a two minute walk away from Turnham Green tube.

what can you say about this place. Good food (great selection of pies), a big selection of beers/ales. Apparently it also does comedy nights, but i can't comment on these as i haven't been to any. Theres plenty of local 'old boys' here at all times which makes for a bit of entertainment
