Laughter In Odd Places is a monthly (ish!) club that was set up by quirky comics Terry Saunders and Tom Bell after they'd had enough of playing smelly little pub rooms full of noisy drunk people.
So far, they've had comedy gigs in a record shop, a cafe, a library, a charity shop, a book shop, a museum, a gallery and even comedy reviewer Bruce Dessau's living room. In 2008 they even held a festival in the Museum of London with four stages and big names like Stewart Lee, Richard Herring and Pappy's Fun Club taking part.
These free gigs never fail to have interesting, quality line-ups and usually have limited space, so get in there early and e-mail them on liopping@googlemail.com to secure a place.
This month's LIOP will be in Borders Bookshop at 122 Charing Cross Road.
