SherryLove the show!! Very funny and amazing vibe there and always made my day!! Staff members all very nice and lovely!! The environment also clean and you can take a seat and chatting with your friends before the show started. Strongly recommend!! Suitable places for a date /hangout!!
Hannah BFantastic venue! The host was brilliant, really confident, swaggy and incredibly handsome. All the staff at the bar and on the door was friendly and down to earth. Even the bouncer was welcoming and chatty! The only things I'd suggest for the future would be getting soft drinks on tap (as they were pretty expensive for glass bottles poured into small cups) and please, please make the seats more spread apart! We couldn't fit comfortably on the seats as they were tied together, and very little leg room. One of the group has claustrophobia so really struggled with this. I'll definitely be back 😁
Bristol RevunionsThe Gaffe is the GO TO PLACE for comedy in Bristol. It’s a lovely venue and an excellent place to see both up-and-coming acts and household names. We’ve thoroughly loved it every time we’ve been and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The staff and owners are so welcoming and helpful and it’s a genuinely lovely place to see comedy! 🤩
Eden JIt was our first time visiting this comedy club, and we weren’t sure what to expect—but it exceeded all expectations! The host did a brilliant job engaging with the audience and could have been an act himself! The acts were absolutely hilarious, keeping us laughing throughout. The staff were all so incredibly friendly. A fantastic night out—we’ll definitely be back!
