The George IV

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.
