Comedy Cellar at Verve

Comedy Cellar at Verve Verve Comedy Cellar is a fun, informal, supportive, and free stand up show. We've been running on a weekly basis in Leeds for over sixteen years.

Comedy Cellar at Verve is a fun, informal, supportive, and free stand up show. We've been running on a weekly basis in Leeds for bloody ages.. We offer slots of up to 10 mins. We have people doing their first ever gig, and we have full professionals who have TV credits, plus everything in between (most of them are in between). As well as stand up, we have sketch, musical, improv, and character com

edy. We pride ourselves on offering an eclectic mix, you never quite know what you'll see down at Verve, but we hope you'll have a good night! If you wish to apply for a spot, simply drop us an email and give us an idea of your experience (this is just so we can programme the bills, we don't mind if you've not gigged before), and a rough idea of what kind of act you're planning. We'll get back to you with a date as soon as we're booking. [email protected]

We take place every Tuesday night, doors are at 8.00 and we start around 8:15. We look forwards to seeing you there!

For those who've been waiting with bated breath to return to the cellar of silliness, we're afraid you'll have to wait just a little longer.

Due to assorted palaver our winter hiatus has to extend into February, so we won't be back on Tuesday as planned.

Don't worry though, we'll be back as soon as we can! Keep an eye on our socials for news of the Cellar's triumphant return, as soon as we can make it happen!

It's been an absolutely banging year at the Cellar!

We've welcomed over 300 acts to the friendliest little stage in Leeds, with TEN work in progress shows, FIVE of our madness-inducing Write Messes and a whole lot of other nonsense besides!

We'll see you all in February refreshed, ready, and rightly missing all the "did you have a good Christmas" chat that permeates January.

We'll see all our friends at on the first Tuesday in Feb, and every Tuesday in 2026!

Cripes. 2026.
