Get ready to laugh your socks off because the UK’s top comedy venue, The Glee, is coming to Leeds this spring.
If you like a good giggle then you’re going to love this news because the award-winning independent comedy club, The Glee, is opening up in Leeds city centre.
The Glee will be opening its sixth UK venue slap bang in the city centre on Albion Street, and will offer a fantastic weekly programme of comedy, live music and entertainment.
Established a whopping 30 years ago, The Glee is the leading operator of comedy venues in the UK.
It first opened its doors in 1994 in a purpose-built venue outside of London and has since become renowned for quality live comedy hosting huge names such as Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre, Jo Brand, Lee Evans, Sarah Millican and Jack Whitehall.
The Glee has also hosted Adele and Mumford & Sons as musical performers. Now those are some big names.
The new 400 capacity Leeds venue will offer a beautifully designed purpose-built interior with reserved theatre-style seating with great stage views, along with excellent lighting and acoustics to create a the ultimate entertainment experience.
There will be an extensive food and drink menu on offer including bar classics such as burgers, nachos, and sourdough pizzas, which can all be washed down with cocktail pitchers, beer buckets and a selection of wines.
The Glee founder Mark Tughan said: “It’s no secret that Yorkshire folk like a good laugh and Leeds is a city we’ve long been looking at as a location to further expand The Glee brand, so we are really excited to make this announcement.
“We’ve got some incredible acts lined up and will also be providing a platform for local
performers too with plenty of homegrown Yorkshire talent on the bill. Our fit out is
progressing well and we can’t wait to open the doors to the new venue and welcome
customers to The Glee experience.”
