Established over 25 years ago, our incredible line-ups are packed to the gunwales with the best new comedians from the UK circuit as well as the biggest stars, who come back time after time.

From Michael McIntyre playing the first gig in March 2000, to Micky Flanagan writing and perfecting his last three sell-out shows here, you never know who might pop up as a very special guest, but you can always be certain of a brilliant night!

Our unique venue means you can enjoy spectacular views of the city from a floating beer garden before the show and dance on our covered deck afterwards. Each show include entry to the after show nightclub which runs until 2am!

With our fantastic, friendly and experienced staff on hand to ensure your comfort and enjoyment it’s no surprise that we’ve built up a reputation as one of the best comedy nights in London, but don’t just take our word for it - our 300+ 5-star reviews speak for themselves!

We laughed so much it was great indeed

Maria

Great night out!! We had a good laugh!!

Beata

The event, the food and the service throughout was exceptional. Should have charged more!

Lee

We had a brilliant night out for my sister in law's commitment hen do. The food was good quality and decent size, the comedy show was fun and the acts and MC were great, and then we danced the night away at the end. Staff were friendly and attentive both for dinner, during the show and at the nightclub part, including the security guards. I would highly recommend it. One piece of feedback is that the comedy events team needs to make sure it communicates reservations for food back to the restaurant staff as our booking was not there for some reason, even though I had booked over a month before we went and I had a text to confirm the reservation on the morning of the booking.

The comedy was really funny and the food was excellent!

Dawn

Great place, our group was running late due to unexpected circumstances and they were very helpful and acomadating, we all got our meals and saw all the very good comedians. Recommend Tattershall castle and will be returning

Had the most amazing time for my husbands 40th birthday celebarations! The comedy show was hilarious throughout the atmosphere was great the setting on the river Thames the music on the top deck and the London scenic views of the London eye Big Ben etc was the icing on the cake! Not very often do you get to dance across the river from the London eye. Just an awesome night would recommend to anybody will definitely be going back!

William

It was a great night the comedy show was really good. However the actual meal reservation part was not as smooth sailing as they could not find the reservation, I presented the confirmation in my email and thankfully they managed to sort something out but overall a good night
