What to expect
This is a small room, a 100-seat theater, so the stage feels close from most seats. The club occupies a former Tower Methodist Church built in 1914, and it kept the original stained glass windows. A concession stand serves draft beer, wine and cocktails, so you can settle in with a drink before the show.
Why go
A room this size suits a stand-up comic, because the jokes land without a big crowd between you and the stage. The building's history as a church gives the night a different feel from a typical comedy club. For fans of his television and film work, seeing him live in a room like this is the reason to cross the river.
