Emporium of MirthAmused Moose
Amused Moose is one of the best known clubs in London, it may not be as big as the Comedy Store or Jongleurs, but from what I could see, that's partly because it's better.
Far from the facelessness of the more corporate Big two, Amused Moose has a more personal Touch, with it's organiser and romoter Hilliary taking you through the whole process of taking your call, ushering you in, and runnign about the place during the gig to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. And when she isn't around, there are lots of very helpful minions about the venue to do it for her.
And that's before you even *get* to the acts. Never one to be scared of taking a risk, the Amused Mosoe nights see a mix of practically every permeatation of Stand up you can muster, often on the same bill, meaning that the night is fantastically balanced, weird, wonderful and downright enjoyable.
This club is the epitome of "Something for everyone" and as such, is a pretty much garunteed good night.
For you giggle junkies, they even have a Loyalty Card scheme which not only gets you in cheaper than the plebs every time you go, but if you go enough times, you qualify for a free Chuckle. Natch!
Amused Moose takes place at The Enterprise in Chalk farm during the week, and at the weekend, it decamps to Soho and the Moonlighting Bar.
