Up the Creek Comedy Club

Comedy club Up the Creek lives up to its name – based on the saying “Up the creek without a paddle” – by throwing talented comics in front of a demanding crowd. The lively audience here does not hesitate to skewer the weak, but strong comics will triumph.

Built in the 1990s in Greenwich, the club pairs stand-up comedy shows with disco after-parties on the weekend, open to both the audience and newly arrived guests.

Shows at Up the Creek comedy club run from Thursday through Sunday, with after-parties on Fridays and Saturdays. An upstairs diner serves pub standards and Thai food until 9pm, while a bar services the main floor.

Up the Creek Tickets range from £4¬–£15, with free open mic performances on Thursdays. After-party entry is £6 on Fridays and £8 on Saturdays, though a flier on the website scores holders half-price admission. Tickets for the Friday and Saturday comedy shows at Up the Creek comedy club include admission to the after-party.

Every week, the Sunday Supper Club Show features a better-behaved audience, low admission, and many established comics. Tickets for Up the Creek are booked over the phone after filling out a form on the club’s website.
