Cheap laughs at the Fymfyg Bar
Lee Hurst - aims to entertain
Tired of over-priced London pubs? Sick of paying £30 to get into Muppet themed ‘we love the 80s’ club night? Try something new and head down to Lee Hurst’s East London comedy club.
The FymFygBar does not look like it hosts successful comedy nights, in fact it looks like a run-down East London club. The sort of place where you would keep two eyes on your drink at all times and avoid at closing hours. However, once you venture inside, the reassuring sound of laughter lets you know you are in the right place.
The comedy club, which opened in 2007, has been going strong ever since. With ticket prices starting at £10, a friendly, mixed crowd and cheap drinks the FymFyg Bar offers a great value night out. Audience member, Avainash Seretum, 24, thoroughly enjoyed his evening; “It was a great show and it was nice to do something different” adding “beer jugs are £12 – bargain!”
Lee Hurst, best-known for being a panelist on BBC’s popular ‘They Think It’s All Over’ programme, has been performing at the club since it first opened its doors. Hurst introduces the acts most Saturday evenings and also occasionally puts on a one-man show.
His set includes the notorious ‘Leebay Auction’ in which he auctions off items brought by the audience. The comedian offers a warning to those who do turn up to his set; “It is a very interactive show and I will drag up members of the audience so don’t show up if you’re a nervous person because I could well have you up there for a while”.
The only downside is the lack of tables available in the performance room which means you may well end up balancing your pint on your knee. Not a good thing when you spend your evening shaking with laughter.
FymFyg Comedy Club is located at 231 Cambridge Heath Road next to Bethnal Green Tube station.
