Just For Laughs - Saturday night, full of rugby boys, hen nights and general balham pissheads...lovely!
I went on saturday for a mates birthday and you really have to fight to get to the bar. Once you get there the staff look so hassled that you almost feel guilty ordering a drink from them, almost. I haven't been in for the comedy but the line ups didn't make me want to brave the crush again this year.
still, the atmosphere was good enough and it seems to be busy so they must be doing something right!
The guinness was well poured and only a little bit overpriced, but the rest of the beer selection was...now how do I put this politely...not the best. It's aimed at stella/kronenbourg guzzling eeejits and the fact that out of 4 real ales only 1 was on? poor.
Never mind, I had a decent enough time because of the company I keep so it wasn't a huge disappointment.

Better off in bed.... - Ah, the Bedford. An infamous South London institution combining giant pub, cavernous comedy club and late night disco shenanigans.
I went for the Friday night Banana caberet which was.. interesting. A line up consisting of some mildly funny comedians, a very angry man-hating woman and er.. Patrick Kielty. To be fair, i’ve heard that’s it a bit pot luck as to what kind of talent is on and I think we came on a bad night.
We arrived late, so no luck in getting a seat (first come first served), so spent the show squeezed into a small standing only area at the top. Then at the end of the night, the place turned into a cheesy disco, complete with sticky carpet, “classic 80s and 90’s” tracks, and some amusing chaps with even more amusing pick up lines. I felt like I was back at University again! And not in a good way!
Perhaps I wasn’t drunk enough, but I guess watching bad “comedy” and then having a disco afterwards isn’t quite my idea of a good night out anymore, but on the plus side it was pretty cheap!
