The Glee Club Oxford

Head down to Cowley Road and you'll find The Glee Club tucked into The Bullingdon—a proper comedy space that's been pulling in crowds who actually want to be entertained rather than Instagram their night out. You're looking at proper stand-up here, with rotating lineups that range from circuit regulars to genuinely funny people you've never heard of. The room's got that intimate-but-lively atmosphere where you can actually see the comedians' faces without binoculars, and the crowd tends to be there for the right reasons. Fair warning: comedy nights can sell out, so book ahead if you don't fancy standing at the back nursing a warm pint.
