See the UK's Best Stand Up Comedians
Before They Get Their Own Netflix Special

Live Next To The Apollo is a friendly and joyful comedy night started in September 2023 by TV Producer Jonathan Stadlen, which has been selling out to packed audiences since day one and has built a strong local community audience in West London.

​

Every show features a specially selected line-up of the UK’s best comedians ready to make you laugh for less than the price of a pint on a Tuesday, and two pints and a packet of crisps on a Friday.

Stand-Up Comedy has always played a big part in the offering at Riverside Studios - from Lenny Henry in the 1980s, Lee Mack and the Mighty Boosh in the 1990s, Bill Bailey and Richard Herring in the 2000s to Julian Clary and Ed Byrne in the 2010s.  LNTTA has built on this legacy, and created a devoted local following, serving up top-tier talent for less than the price of a pint of beer on a Tuesday, and two pints and a packet of crisps on a Friday.

We now have shows running every Friday and alternate Tuesdays:

Friday's ‘All-Star’ extravaganza just £12! presents the UK’s best comics, plus audience favourites from Tuesdays, and superstar headliners all on one incredible bill.

Top Tuesdays for just £6.50! showcases a mix of newer comics trying their best stuff and TV legends trying some new stuff and old stuff, in a wonderful mid-week dose of comedy bliss.

​​

Every Tuesday and Friday show has a Comedy Store level Opener and Headliner, and all profits go the acts on stage.
 

Want to know what a comedy club should feel like? Then get along to Live Next To The Apollo.

Friendly, intimate, un-intimidating - a great night out with consummate, eclectic and articulate talent.

Great value, great location and an affable, engaging host.

You're missing out and no one told you.

Seriously funny - a must see! I’ve been going regularly for a year now, and we laugh ourselves silly every time. It’s become an absolute highlight in our calendars!  A special shoutout to the host, Jonathan. He is super friendly and effortlessly funny - a huge part of what makes the night so special!  I’d highly recommend this night to anyone and everyone. You won’t regret it!
