On the second of January Mrs Tom and myself set off to London for a bit of a day out.  We had family staying over Christmas and with our holiday being a group tour it felt like a while since we had spent any time together alone doing something for ourselves.

We had a bit of a wander and a nice dinner in a Spaghetti House chain restaurant.  Not amazing but not bad either.  After that we took ourselves off to the Soho Comedy Club which is in “The Comedy” – a pub just off from Leicester Square and near Piccadilly Circus in Oxenden Street, where The Comedy Store is.

It cost £5 to get in (£7 without the flier we had) which is excellent value – The Comedy Store up the road is £20-£25.  The pub is very nice downstairs, but the comedy happens in a room upstairs where around 120 people are crammed into quite a small room, but there is enough room for everyone to sit comfortably – sort of like being in the cinema – people have to move if you want to get up.

A couple of the acts really caught my eye – Joel Dommett and Eric Lampaert.  They were both really funny and pretty original and I really liked them.

So here they both are (Joel’s video is the performance from the 2nd Jan I actually saw):
