The 30 Best Comedy in Manchester

“A very nice bar with a great atmosphere in the center of Manchester. Mostly Brewdog beers of course. We were served by Jordan and James, they were really nice”

“Watched The Lion King at the Palace Theatre and it was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere in the theatre itself is grand and historic, with great acoustics and comfortable seating. The performance was world-class, from the costumes and stage design to the music, everything was magical and immersive. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organised. Truly one of those shows that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Highly recommend both the venue and the production!”

“I have been coming to MTA for just over a year now and I couldn't be more thankful for the incredible Team! They have been nothing but supportive and fun! The leaders put their hearts into giving us the best drama possible! They have given me opportunities I could get no where else! From the workshops to the shows everything we do at MTA is so much fun! They build up confidence incredibly well and focus on making sure kids are pushed out of there comfort zones while also making sure kids are comfortable! I couldn't be more Positive about MTA! Thankyou to the MTA team for everything you have done for me!!!!!!”

“Went to the matinee of Ghost Train on 17th May. Good fun with a pinch of suspense. Front of house staff friendly & welcoming.”

“First visit to Farnworth Little Theatre. On street parking and small car park. Bar facilities available. Support local theatre and buy tickets”

“My daughter loves the junior circus skills classes on Saturday mornings.”

“My little boy (3) has been attending TNA since just after just 1st birthday and will soon be turning 4. He does the lil Beatz dance class and he attends musical theatre. He loves attending Dance and Drama each week and has made lots of friends. He adores all the staff and has a good relationship with some of the girls in the older classes too. My son has a lot of energy and attending these classes has helped him learn positive ways to Chanel that energy and his listening ears have improved massively. I would highly recommend TNA to anyone looking for extra classes for their children. TNA isn’t just a dance studio, it’s a community, a family ♥️”

“A wonderful community asset with a big smile and welcome. Fantastic fresh juices and milkshakes, served by owners that really love the locality and it's people. Be back soon”

“The owner David puts on various speciality nights , tonight was a Thai night and all the food was prepared and cooked by his partner Sai .. It was awesome, she is an amazing cook, the food was outstanding and made me feel like i was actually back in Thailand .. at £30 per head probably the best Thai meal i have ever had in the UK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“They normally have a good selection of ales here when I visit, but it was a little weaker than usual. Quality is excellent however.”

“"Some to Watch over me" absolutely brilliant performances by all the cast. Takes you on an emotional and thought provoking journey. The human will to survive and its sense of humour in all situations. Well done to all involved. A great theatre and very welcoming crew.”

“Titfield Thunderbolt Matinee - fantastic show - exceptionally professional -just a plea for air con. we were melting!”

“Just been to watch 'Everyone's talking about Jamie'. Wow, just wow. What a brilliant production. I cried, properly cried and I turned to my friend who was also crying. The acting capability was outstanding. The venue, lovely, small and perfectly adequate. Never been to a show at the Playhouse before, but would 100% return. What an amazing night watching some talented young and older actors.”

“Great to see the contemporary dance performance 'shed' by the Northern Rascals dance company at the Partington. Such a great performance dealing with timeless issues in a contemporary way in a performance which really spoke to me. Wonderful to have touring acts perform at this venue (let's bring more if we can!) as well as traditional theatre performances by the players.”

“Just love it! Great little Theatre. Excellent team. Very friendly and good bar.”

“Fantastic small quaint theatre, great show.(fantastica musical) All production did a great effort.”

“Wonderful, modern theatre with comfortable seats, lovely clean lavatories,a well stocked bar and great volunteer helpers.”

“Fantastic friendly venue. Alas Ska were stupendous too! I look forward to coming here again even though I've nothing booked as yet.....”

“Wonderful find, a bit of the beaten track, but great owners and wonderful Sunday Lunch. We had the three meats, beef, lamb and chicken.”

“Visited for the first time Sunday evening with friends to take part in the pub quiz. Great atmosphere, great beers and the quiz was loads of fun.”

“Good pub with nice selection of ales and beer.”

“Brilliant place with a great atmosphere. Very comfortable and welcoming with extremely friendly volunteers running it. Brings a real sense of community which is part of the aim. They run a fab cafe with some very different choices of food and also include vegetarian and vegan options too. Events and projects for the community run during the day and the evening. There's a bar for evening events which serves a great selection of drinks at incredibly reasonable prices. A very relaxed informal welcoming place. Open mic night is lots of fun with anyone and everyone encouraged to get up and play or sing. Very eclectic with something for everyone. Lots of local artisans and artists sell their wares here too and there are lots of plans in the pipeline yet to come”

“Watched a brilliant representation of Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced .....Miss Marple was really good, the actress portrayed the character so well loved it”

“We love Owen’s Little Music Makers. So much energy consumed it guarantees a relaxed lunch while the baby takes a good long nap! What more could you want?”

“Went to watch Cinderella over the Christmas period. The cast were brilliant and the script very well written. As others have mentioned, the ugly sisters were the stars of the show with lots of interaction with the audience. Overall, very good value for money on the initial purchasing of tickets and what the play delivered. I wasn't sure on the parking arrangements and it appears limited where you can park but there were some spaces behind and around the row of shops. We caught the bus to the local precinct and walked the 10 minutes so that is a viable option. The venue itself has food and drink on sale that is very reasonably priced and you can pay both with cash and card. It is a small venue that until recently I did not know even existed. It's intimate and seating, while seen better days, was adequate and even after the near 3 hours being there, was not feeling uncomfortable. Overall, an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with family”

“Went to see STUART MICHAEL. Would definitely recommend! It was my first ever show of this kind. It was packed out! Would suggest getting there at least half hour before any show starts to get a carpark space behind the theatre.”
