EnglishWhere Does Comedy Carnival Host Its Comedy Shows in London?
Updated
Comedy Carnival runs its stand-up shows at venues in Covent Garden and Leicester Square, with its regular weekly comedy nights listed at the Seven Dials Club in Covent Garden and some special events, such as Cabaret Carnival, at the Phoenix Arts Club. The venue depends on the specific show, so you should check the listing for the date you want before booking.
Main London venues
| Venue | Area | Typical shows |
|---|---|---|
| Seven Dials Club | Covent Garden | Weekly international stand-up comedy club nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) |
| Phoenix Arts Club | Covent Garden area | Cabaret Carnival and similar showcase events |
| Leicester Square | Leicester Square | Comedy Carnival describes itself as operating across Covent Garden and Leicester Square |
The site's own branding places the club in "Covent Garden • Leicester Square," while the individual show listings in the page evidence name the Seven Dials Club and Phoenix Arts Club as the specific rooms.
What a typical night looks like
Regular comedy nights are described as international stand-up featuring TV stars from Live At The Apollo and Comedy Central, plus acclaimed international comedians. They run Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
From the listed examples:
- Thursday at Seven Dials Club — 8.00PM–10.00PM, from £10
- Friday at Seven Dials Club — 8.30PM–10.30PM, from £12
- Saturday at Seven Dials Club — 8.30PM–10.30PM, from £15
- Cabaret Carnival at Phoenix Arts Club — 7.30PM–9.15PM, from £35
Several listings also carry a "Happy Hour 7PM" or "Happy Hour 7.30PM" tag, suggesting an earlier arrival window before the show.
How to confirm the venue for your date
- Open the "What's On" section of the site.
- Find the date you want.
- Read the venue name shown on that listing (for example, Seven Dials Club or Phoenix Arts Club).
- Check the start time and price shown alongside it.
- Select "Buy Tickets" or "More info" for that specific show.
Because line-ups, times, prices and venues vary by date, the individual listing — not the general club description — is the reliable source for where a given show is happening.
Practical points to note
- Line-ups change. The comedians named in listings (for example Dane Baptiste, Russell Hicks, Dana Alexander, Travis Jay as MC) are tied to specific dates, and some slots are listed simply as "Guest."
- Prices are per show, not per venue. The "from" prices differ by night and by event type, so a Saturday stand-up ticket and a Cabaret Carnival ticket are not comparable.
- Arrive for the happy hour if you want it. Where a happy hour is listed, it starts before the show time, so plan to be there earlier than the advertised start.
- Two different rooms, two different formats. The Seven Dials Club listings are stand-up club nights; the Phoenix Arts Club listing is a cabaret showcase with a different running time and price band.
If your main question is simply which part of London to head to, the answer is Covent Garden or Leicester Square — and for most weekly comedy nights, specifically the Seven Dials Club in Covent Garden.
