What it's like
The night runs a couple of hours in two halves, with a compere linking three or four stand-ups. Drinks are served at the table between acts at most clubs, and there is usually a bar afterwards.
A stag group at the front will be found out by the compere within the first two minutes. Sit further back if that is going to ruin somebody's night.
Smart-casual. Get there for the doors rather than the start time, because seating is often unreserved and a late group ends up split up.

Local tips
Birmingham's main comedy club runs a fresh line-up every night with acts from the national circuit. Entry is from 6.45pm, seats are reserved and the show runs about two hours 45 minutes, so eat beforehand or book a late table. Some packages include a drink each. For something built around the stag, a comedian can host an hour-long mock courtroom roast in a hired room, using stories you send in advance. Send them early, because the roast is only as good as the material.
Local tips
Bournemouth's main comedy club night runs on Saturdays only, in a nightclub on Fir Vale Road. The show lasts about two hours and carries on into the club afterwards, so it can cover the whole Saturday night. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable, so confirm numbers before booking. Get drinks from the bar before the first act. A shorter alternative is a comedy courtroom roast of the stag, about an hour, with venue hire included and the group sending in material beforehand.
Local tips
Cardiff's best-known comedy club is an intimate room rather than a theatre, with a house compere and a changing line-up of touring acts. Entry is from 6.45pm, seats are reserved and the show runs about two hours 45 minutes, so the group is out in time for the bars. Friday and Saturday packages can include a main meal, which saves booking a separate dinner. Packages suit four to 30 people, and smart casual is fine.
Local tips
Dublin has a large dedicated comedy club plus a regular comedy night in Temple Bar, with a mix of local and international acts. Plan on two and a half to three hours. Doors open around 7pm, arrivals before 7.30pm sometimes get a free drink, and the show starts at about 8.30pm. Groups get reserved seating with table service and finger food platters, and the bar stays open after the show. Smart casual is expected, and at the larger club payment is card or contactless only, so nobody should rely on cash.

Local tips
Options for groups include a club on Cambridge Heath Road in east London and a floating comedy club on a moored boat on Victoria Embankment, plus West End nights of two and a half to three hours. At the east London club, tickets must be swapped for wristbands by 7.15pm for an 8pm show. On the boat, doors open at 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and groups of eight or more pay a small cash behaviour deposit and sign a no-heckling agreement. Its dress code bans fancy dress, tracksuit bottoms and football shirts.
