What it’s like
A late-evening stand-up night at the Palace Theatre, best treated as a grown-up night out rather than a family trip.
This one's for the adults. Doors open at 7.30pm, the show starts at 8pm and runs through two acts and two intervals before the headline act finishes around 10.20 to 10.45pm, so it's a late one by any measure, let alone with kids in tow. If you're weighing this up as a family day out, it isn't that; it's a comedy club night, the kind of thing you book for a birthday, an anniversary or just a night away from the kids with mates.
The format's straightforward: first act around 8.40pm, second interval about 9.45pm, then the headliner closes things out. General admission is £24.50, and there are concession tickets for OAPs, students, NHS staff, armed forces and service personnel if you bring ID on the night. You can buy on the door if it hasn't sold out, though turning up by 7.45pm is what they ask for so you're seated before the first act, or 7.30pm if you're in a larger group.
Tickets aren't generally refundable, but they'll transfer your booking to someone else if you let them know ahead of time, and if you bought direct there's some flexibility to move to another date with 48 hours notice. Buy through a third party instead and you lose that wiggle room entirely. The venue has full disabled access and accessible toilets, and they ask you to pre-book if you need a specific seating setup sorted in advance.
