Hello all,

I was hoping to get some advice from kind EDF members.

I'm a comic who lives in ED and have just finished writing a comedy show I'll be doing at Festivals around the country this year including my 2nd full run at Edinburgh.

I was wondering if you guys could suggest venues in ED, Peckham, Forest Hill that I might try and get a room to do some previews?

Many thanks,

Sam.

The Ivy House and The Old Nun's Head both put on comedy.


Both arein Nunhead and both are within walking distance of East Dulwich.


The Ivy House has quite a large performance space with a fantastic stage. Holds around 150 seated/standing.


The Old Nun's Head has a smaller cosy space upstairs with a smaller stage. Holds around 50/60 seated/standing.


Contact Hugo, events manager at The Ivy House, to book their room, and Nick, manager at The Old Nun's Head, to book theirs.

The Bridge House Theatre by Penge West is a great place. Loads of pubs will have backrooms that offer hire functions. The Goldsmiths in Penge is doing odd music and comedy performances too, including this one:

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
