Seating: If you wish to be seated with friends who will arrive separately, some of you should arrive when the doors open at 8.15pm and know the total number in your group. Seating cannot be absolutely guaranteed for late arrivals.
Our comedy shows are NOT suitable for stag or hen nights, NOR single-gender groups of 8 or more (See 'Small Print' below)
SMALL PRINT
1) No under 14s (14 to 17 year olds must be accompanied by a responsible adult)
2) Local bye-laws require venues to not admit anyone who appears to have already been drinking alcohol, so come straight to the comedy night rather than meeting up in a bar/pub.
3) Because of potential annoyance to others, single gender groups (including HEN and STAG nights) of eight or more will not be admitted.
4) Anyone causing a nuisance or disturbance will be required to leave.
The venue (not the comedy night) have responsibility for the above.
NB: No refund will be made in any of these circumstances, because ii is assumed that anyone coming for the comedy show is aware of, and accepts, these terms.
5) While every effort is made to ensure that the comedians who appear are those named above, occasionally performers may unexpectedly become unavailable, so do check if you are coming to see a particular comedian. Neither the unavailable comedian nor Amused Moose Comedy accept any liability in respect of their non-appearance/replacement, but Amused Moose Comedy will do all possible to replace them with another comedian of similar or higher standing
At Soho's Karma Sanctum Hotel.
