The Glee Club will welcome some of the UK's best comics to its new venue on Albion Street.
A brand new comedy club has been granted a licence until 3am in Leeds City Centre.
The application for a premises licence was submitted to Leeds City Council by club owners Comic Enterprises Ltd, claiming: “If granted, this would be Leeds’ only dedicated comedy club, a cultural benefit to the city.
"They are an industry leader and an award-winning operator.”

The Glee Club has seen top UK comics such as Joe Lycett and Michael McIntyre perform on their stages.
With venues in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester - they've made a name for themselves at providing punters with a proper good laugh.
Opening its first venue in Birmingham back in 1994, and at the time it was the first purpose-built comedy club outside London.
The new venue on Albion Street will replace the old comedy club Jongleurs, and the licence will allow the sale of alcohol between 10pm and 3am.
The licence application said: “The Glee Clubs are a group of live comedy, music and special events venues.
“They are the home of stand-up comedy, with regular mixed-bill weekend shows and big names on tour with their solo shows.
“They also host inspiring music gigs, spoken word, talks and cabaret and burlesque shows.”
There were nine letters of objection to the club opening from nearby householders, but the Glee Club was told its licence would be granted, subject to agreed conditions.
The 456sq m store will give shoppers the chance to fully immerse themselves in the world of LEGO building.
No matter what age, you just can't beat a bit ot LEGO.
And it's safe to say that excitement is well and truly building (get it?) as the LEGO Group has announced its new store will open at Trinity Leeds on Thursday April.
To celebrate the opening there will be specially-designed, Yorkshire-inspired LEGO models available to see and pose with on launch day.
The new and improved store will include a LEGO Pick a Brick Wall, where shoppers can search for the perfect piece to complete their masterpiece, start a brand-new build, or customise an existing LEGO set.

There will also be free build challenges and events in-store, as well as a create your own LEGO Minifigures area giving customers the chance to mix and match from a wide selection of pieces, with ‘Brick Specialists' on hand to offer expert advice.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “The new LEGO store is bigger and better than ever before with some incredible interactive elements that will allow creativity and imaginations to flourish. As the only LEGO store in West Yorkshire, it has already proved incredibly popular here at Trinity Leeds, and this new store will bring even more of what LEGO fans love.”
The new LEGO store comes alongside a whole host of new openings inside Trinity, including schuh, Jerk Junction, Lane7 and Footasylum.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
