Forget fancy theatres and pricey tickets – if you want a good laugh without the fuss, head down to the Rose and Crown in Thurnby.
Comedy That Won't Break the Bank
"Roar with Laughter" is running from 13-21 February, which means you've still got until Saturday 21st to catch it. It's the kind of comedy night that feels like it should be – in a proper pub, with a pint in your hand, and none of that stuffy atmosphere you get in some venues.[visitleicester]
The Rose and Crown knows what it's doing. You're not sat in rows staring at a stage from miles away. You're in a pub, close enough to the comedians that it feels like they're performing just for your mates. That's how comedy should be experienced, in my book.
Why Pub Comedy Hits Different
There's something about watching stand-up in a local that just works better. Maybe it's because everyone's more relaxed with a drink, or maybe it's because the comedians feed off that intimate atmosphere. Either way, pub comedy nights like this one are where you often find the best talent – performers who've got to win over a crowd that isn't afraid to let them know if they're not up to scratch.
Leicester Comedy Festival is brilliant, don't get me wrong, but not everyone wants to pay thirty quid for a ticket at De Montfort Hall. Sometimes you just want to pop down the road, support your local, and have a few laughs without planning it like it's a night at the opera.
If you're in Thurnby or anywhere nearby, get yourself to the Rose and Crown before Saturday. Decent comedy, decent pub, decent night out – sorted.
