The Albany pub is located on Great Portland Street but its main selling point lies underneath in the Albany Lowdown comedy club, a hidden gem on the circuit, where you can catch some great sketch and character comedy shows most nights of the week.
With almost a different line-up every night ranging from regular gigs like Doug's Sketch Show to fringe hit Spank!, there is a wide variety of comedy to choose from and occasional live music and DJ nights at the weekend too.
The upstairs pub has big leather sofas and armchairs, simple food and quality foreign ales and lagers, making it a relaxing and comfortable place to grab a drink and a bite before a show.
Spot the comedy stars of the future and vote for your favourites alongside comedy industry folk, in the eigth heat of this prestigious award, previously won by Jack Whitehall and Sarah Millican.
