The Essex Alcohol-Free Comedy Club

Sober Is Fun bills itself as the UK's original alcohol-free comedy club, and the format holds up without a drop of booze in the room: proper touring stand-up, a warm crowd, and none of the usual pressure to order a round. It's aimed squarely at anyone sober-curious, in recovery, or just fancying a night out that doesn't end in a hangover.

Tables are shared, so it's a genuinely easy room to strike up conversation in if you've come alone.
