OVER THE LAST three & a half years London based UP THE ARTS has brought its wilfully idiosyncratic approach to comedy ? from offering our audience heckling workshops to booking Sweden?s only trumpet playing dog. We?ve organised free and paying gigs in amphitheatres, wine museums, cinemas, cellar bars and pubs offering the best in stand-up, sketch, character, physical, poetry, music and film comedy. Plus organising comedy courses and an ironic New Talent Competition where after three years an overall winner is yet to be announced. We?ve booked some of the UK?s most respected, unknown, traditional, original, oldest (71 years) and youngest (15 years) comics - in short we believe in comedy by all means.

Starting from March 5th 2009 see the best comics and the hottest up and comers on the circuit, Thursday shows (monthly) @ The Old Kings Head, 45 - 49 Kings Head Yard, off Borough High Street, SE1 1NA. Nearest tube: London Bridge - Turn left on exiting Borough High St exit, walk 10m & turn left into first alley.

LOTS OF FUN, LOADS OF LAUGHS. COME & GET IT... UP THE ARTS!
