The Hen and Chicken, Bedminster

Well, Skmly obviously had a bad night at the comedy club at the H&C but when ever I've been the comics have been excellent. Real top drawer stuff from acts you can see on the telly such as Lee Mack, Stewart Francis and Jon Richardson. And even the lesser known comics are great too.

As for it being communist night, I can only think Skmly wanted to talk during the show and was told to be quiet. Occasionally that does happen there.

If it's so dire why is it so popular? It's always full when I've been, especially on Saturday nights. Each to their own though. Stand-ups not for everyone.

One thing I would say is that the room upstairs desperately needs a lick of paint. Compared to downstairs it's like going back to the 70s. What are the owners thinking? Embarrassing it was when I took my mates who were visiting from Canada. They couldn't believe the contrast.
