Comedy Mavericks at The Three Tuns: A thrifty night out for fans of stand-up

Comedy Mavericks offers up-and-coming comedy for the recession, apt given its venue location adjacent to LSE’s Student Union building. The Three Tuns pub looks just like a student pub, complete with pool table and well, students; the drinks are also incredibly cheap - on Wednesday nights you can catch budding stand-up comedians whilst downing pints for £2.10 or bottles of wine for £8.70 - that’s almost as cheap as supermarket plonk.

The fun takes place downstairs, but don’t be put off by the rapidly assembled plastic chairs which bring you uncomfortably close to the stage in a room of such small dimensions (unless like me you hate audience participation, in which case you might want to hide at the back). The comedians perform to varying degrees of success, with Johnny Cochrane’s tales of being caught pleasuring himself by his mother and Hannah Warman’s self-deprecating jibes being the most successful.

The next event is on Tuesday May 24th. Comedy Heat, the group responsible for Comedy Mavericks also run the free entry Vagabonds at The Corner Shop on Shoreditch High Street and Slickers, a new night due to start on June 5th in Moorgate.
