IslingtonSocial

Welcome to our Comedy Listing Page

We plan to list all the venues in Islington that feature comedy.

Please bear with us whilst we are in this transition of building the site but hope the links to other quality sites will keep you occupied for the duration!

Check out the British Sitcom Guide which is an excellent site with extensive listings to do with all things comedy - of the British Variety.

Look out for our competitions where we plan to give free tickets to main comedy events in the Islington area.

Our Monthly Newsletter IS are Here! will be launching in June and we plan some excellent giveaways and promotions.

E Mail us at islington@thebestof.co.uk to join FREE and also make suggestions for comedy venues in Islington that you have enjoyed.

Below we have a forum where you can vote for your favourite British sitcom from any era. A hackneyed idea admittedly but points for the most obscure suggestions.

Okay! Sketch shows allowed as the British comedy cream seems to excel in this. Probably better than the Americans we dare to say. Though can't seem to think of any quality American sketch shows. Any suggestions?

Thebestof British Sitcoms

We all have our Favourite British Sitcoms, usually dependant on the era we grew up in. I guess.

Well, we love lists here at IslingtonSocial so we are planning on compiling one to see which British sitcom from the last 40 years comes out top.

Please feel free to join our mailing list and let us have your Top 5 sitcoms. This is an ongoing list and by no means conclusive but we will award the occasional prize to those who come up with the most interesting choices.
