The theatre can host some of the best pantomime in London one night with superb comedy stand-up acts the next. The theatre is much loved by locals for its charming and intimate theatre hall and its more grounded and relaxed form of entertainment in comparison to other London theatres.

The theatre was originally built in 1901 as a music hall before then also opening for theatre shows in the 1950s. Since, it has been the home of various forms of entertainment. Comedians who have performed there include John Cleese, Jenifer Saunders and Russell Brand, allowing some of the comedy greats to hone their skills and delight their audiences.
