Me and my fella are going on Saturday night and just wondered if anyone had been before and whether they enjoyed it, and be nice (lol)!:D

Where is it? Would be interested to hear if you had a good eve. Expensive?

I'll tell you after we've been tomorrow night at the Roundhouse.

The "Last Laugh" at the roundhouse is class!! 16 of us went a couple of weeks ago for my chicks birthday, i've never laughed so hard in a long time!! Its £15 each but well worth it! One thing i would say though is dont go there hungry cos the food menu is pants! Other than that a top night out!

There is more than one comedy club in Sheffield.
The Caper Club is on every Wednesday in the upstairs bar of Takapuna on west street.

£7 on door to get in (£6 NUS and advanced tickets).
Quality night and usually has similar set of comedians as the Roundhouse.

Check www.thecaperclub.com for more info!

before any one says anything else i have a biased response because i work at the LAST LAUGH comedy club.
after monitoring the customer comment cards from the last two months of operation over 90% of guests rate the LAST LAUGH as very good or better.
The comedians are all top of the circuit profesional acts, who are personally selected by Toby and the team for thier wide range of material and styles.
THe club is fast becoming the one that the acts on the circuit are talking about as the "Great new proper comedy club " in Sheffield.
The sound system has been revamped, the venue has been refurbished and re-designed to enhance the acts and the whole evening is designed to give maximum pleasure and enjoyment, the comedy part of the show ends around about 11.00 pm when the easy, cheesy disco starts, hang around for a boogie or just chat and chill to some great old favourite tunes.
If you are in this weekend enjoy it and share the world of Toby's comedy love.

Where is this club Foxprom? Do visitors need to be members?

Let's have some details :)

I am put off the by use of the word "boogie"
My mum and Dad "Boogie".
That said I have been twice and enjoyed it immensely.
Although I left before the "boogie" session commenced........

Stage walker its not a private club its a comedy club and it runs at the roundhouse under ponds forge swimming centre in the heart of sheffield

Guderuian sorry you dont like the sound of a boogie, its beter than a bogie and sorry if its a parental thing and sounds a bit uncool, but the disco is not a cool rave club night, its a bit of fun and cheesey music to round off the end of the comedy night.

"The last laugh is a comedy club first and formost " with an option on the food and the disco which are available if you want them.

Last Saturday night a couple of party parties were in who enjoyed the comedy and then stayed till 1.00 am for the music some danced, some chatted and all enjoyed the night out without having to think to hard about the music or how to dance or what was happening in the world around them, which in todays world cant be a bad thinng can it??

It is the Last Laugh that we are going to at the roundhouse, sounds good from what people have said, will let u know what its like.

Hi

We certainly hope you enjoy The Last Laugh. It's feeling like a bit of a success at the minute, with Saturdays selling out, and at least 150 or so coming in on Fridays. Saturdays are big and bouncy, and Fridays a bit more chilled. We are trying to move the business on with things like comedian's tours, and our new monthly gay night, Coming Out!!

Any feedback is always welcome, on club@grinreaper.co.uk .



The Caper Club is on every Wednesday in the upstairs bar of Takapuna on west street.

With respect, thats not exactly true. We've not heard of most of the acts at The Caper Club, and certainly couldn't use them at The Roundhouse. People have been coming to Last Laugh nights for fifteen years now in Sheffield, and they have come to expect a certain standard. The Caper Club does provide what a city needs, a good alternative club where newer acts can join a paid act to get a feel of a stage, but it's a bit different from putting on three or four full time professionals a night.

i have booked 2 tickets for tonight also, looking forward to it.

(I am put off the by use of the word "boogie"~~Guderian)

unfortunately i am old enough too and probably will be having a "boogie" at the end of the night.
infact i might even have a " boogie-woogie" :D

glad to hear you are coming tonight look forward to seeing you and having a boogie woogie or two if you want it

we went to tacky puna last week and came out at the interval
visited last laugh and found out what real comedy night was about
good on ya toby and the other acts

It was a really good night, would recommend to anyone. Comedians were great, never stopped laughing all night!!

we also had a fab time- if you havn't been i would definately recommend it we are going to go again in a couple of weeks. well worth the £15
:D :D :D

Can I just say that I thought the food was excellent (sausage and mash was anyway)didn't sample the whole menu as that would make me extremely greedy.:D
We had a fantastic night when we went and hopefully are going to have a joint stag and hen nights there too.:suspect:
Will give you a ring foxprom:hihi:
Is anything happening for Valentines night?

Hi

Nothing happening on Valentines Night, mainly due to the fact that the compere's wife is due to give birth that night!

This might sound abit stupid but has the last laugh comedy club got anything to do with the lescar? Always wanted to go out to comedy club but never found any of the regular ones ive heard about such as junglars and comedy store, are many of the comedians local?:huh:

The nearest Jongleurs (http://www.jongleurs.com/) comedy club is in Leeds, and there are also Jongleurs comedy clubs in Manchester and Nottingham. There's a comedy store (http://www.thecomedystore.co.uk/) in Manchester.

The Last Laugh runs at The Lescar on Thursday nights and The Roundhouse on Friday and Saturday nights. We have the best UK circuit acts, all Comedy Store and Jongleurs regulars, as well as our resident compere Toby Foster.

We run Coming Out, Sheffield's brand new gay comedy night, and the latest Last Laugh venture opens in The Raynor Lounge in Sheffield Uni's Student's Union this Sunday evening.

We run a monthly gong show on a Sunday night at The Lescar, and have got one more thing up our sleeves (new Wednesday night comedy coming to The Cathedral Quarter soon), then we're calling it a day!

Hi Dark fox
THe last laugh has answerd many of your questions but jsut to say the Sheffield spirit runs high in the last laugh and we like to think that we run an operation similar to the clubs you mention but with a lot of Sheffield friendlyness and eay going about it. The acts are a mixed collection of circuit profesionals some local others from around the world.
Its ment to be an easy night out, nothing seedy, dark or nasty and everyone just needs to get in, have a drink or two and a laugh, thats it HAVE A LAUGH.

remember the quote from history " a laugh is a nosie that comes out of a hole in you head, anywhere else and you are in trouble".

Really, I have regularly seen the same acts on at the Caper Club the same week or the following week as those that have performed at The Lescar which if I'm not mistaken is owned and run by the same people of the Last Laugh thus offering the same acts.

I'm not knocking your night and I'm not affiliated with The Caper Club, mine is an unbias and individual opinion. I'm not exactly on here to lie about one club for another... I call as I see it.

Yes The Caper Club has an open mic policy for new talent but please done say you dont have some of the same acts on the same week or following week because I know this to be different.

Well, inevitably, with the UK circuit as it is, we will use similar acts from time to time. I only said that we have never heard of most of the acts used at The Caper Club, as we only deal with pro acts at The Roundhouse. There are times when we would use the kind of acts that Headline at The Caper Club to open for us.

So far this year, we have indeed used one of the acts who has appeared at The Caper Club, but as we have used 54 different acts in that same time period, I hardly think we have much of a cross over.

However, I think you maybe misunderstood me. I believe we need more entry level clubs if we are to develop a comedy scene in the city. We need clubs like The Caper Club to put new talent on, to bring them forward. Punters will not go for brand new acts at nights like The Roundhouse; they've paid fifteen quid, they expect solid laughs from start to finish. Our night at The Lescar is 15 years old, so people have expectations of quality from that. So a few clubs where people can come to the city and have a go at standing up in front of an audience is fantastic.

We're launching our Gong Night at The Lescar this Sunday with just that in mind. Local compere Mark Jackson will have a pro first half, then in the second half, up to 10 acts who get up to 5 minutes on stage, depending on audience reaction.It'll be three quid to get in, and a bit of a Sunday night laugh. It's about getting punters involved and believing that there is a scene, and not just some clubs, in Sheffield.

I've been to Last Laugh,
CAPER CLUB at Takapuna on a wednesday is FAR FAR better! great atmosphere and really cool venue and it has REAlly good drinks offers, its a cheap night out, we go most weeks

I have also been to both the Caper club and the Last Laugh and although we enjoyed our night at the Tak'i'puna:suspect:
I much preferred the Last Laugh:partyhat::clap::partyhat:
But thats just my opinion ,try them both :D
