“Put 3 stars for transportation because there wasn’t any? Anyway overall night was excellent. Great seats (front row…. Not sure that’s good for a comedy show) but we got off lightly. Compere and 4 comedians all really good. A few people chatting and distracting the audience and the comedians but they all dealt with them in their own way 🤣. Only stayed for a little while for the nightclub. The bar on the boat opposite the club is great…. Fantastic views of the London Eye.”
