Instant laughs Reviews 

The compere was brilliant, he should have his own spot. Kudos must go to the 22yr old trying to get a break, he tried but was a bit niche for tonight's audience. Fair play, I wish him well. 1st comic was great, everyone was laughing. 3rd, not so good.
I'll come again and review the venue.
Watch this space.

haven't had such a great laugh in a while. Accidentally stomped across Instant Laughs, watched a few performances and had a great time. I am not local but many jokes were relatable to me so that was even more fun. The good part it's free so it's highly recommended for anyone looking for a cheap night in London.

Very funny night, a mix of professional club comedians and up and coming comedians performed. All very funny.

Great comedy night and it’s free, 5 mins from the tube!

This is a review for both someone who simply looking for a live comedy venue as well as people who want to try stand-up comedy themselves.

I am a regular of the instant laughs at Grove bar in Hammersmith. I started by just watching other stand up comedians performing for the evening, and gradually I become more interested in performing myself and now I do 2/3 open mics per week. I am fond of the venue and the atmosphere of instant laughs. The comedy club itself is very friendly and nurturing for new, very new comedians. I myself is a good example of being almost incubated in the safe environment for creative outlet and experimentation. Marvin and other comedians are very supportive and understanding. I highly recommend all new/upcoming comedians to give instant laughs a go/ many goes ;)

The night is usually mced by a seasoned comedian who will lead the evening, by opening the show, introducing each comedian and interacting with the audience. Basically, he / she will make the crowd feels welcomed and entertained throughout the evening. The promoter Marvin runs the show 3 evenings a week- Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

On a busy evening, you will have the pleasure to watch 12- 14 new comedians who will do new materials or try new styles. There will be a 10-15 min break in between gigs. 1st half will be 5, 6 or 7 comedians and the 2nd half will be the rest. As a member of the audience, you will have the opportunity to watch a wide range of comic styles delivered by a very diversified cultural and ethnical background of comedians from African, Asian to European and Americas. It is a mini global metling pond for all cultures. You will also watch different styles of jokes from physical performance, musical, alternative, character, improvisational comedy or my own very style as observational comedy. Marvin has been very good at keeping the performers of the evening gender balanced, so you will watch upcoming female comics as well as many of the comics from minority ethnicity background. The show starts around 7:30pm/8pm and generally finishes before 10:30pm.

The pub itself is located just 5/6 min walking distance from Hammersmith underground station, so its very handy to travel to and from. The pub offers food service until 10pm and has a good range of alcohols at reasonable prices. It is always appreciated to buy drinks while go and watch the gigs as it hleps to support the event and pub that provides the venue. The area where the pub located is very safe and generally very peaceful so that you can travel along in evenings perhaps at late hours.

Instant laugh is perfect for someone who is into live comedy and looking for relaxation after a working day. It's also perfect for people on date nights as it will help to cement the bond...laughter is the path to his or her heart afterall. It's also perfect for a birthday night out, or any kind of celebration. After all, all we ever need is a bit of happiness and joy!

Great night out. Relaxed atmosphere with a great mix of mainstream and more alternative acts

It's a great night out. Some really good comedians on the bill every week, pub downstairs is nice too.

Real fun night out. Friendly intimate comedy venue with lots of weird and wonderful comedians. Would go again

This is a solid comedy night located less than 10 minutes walk from Hammersmith tube. Loads of great new comedians, it starts and finishes relatively early and the pub is lovely.
