Amused Moose Soho

The West End


The peripatetic Amused Moose can often be found pitched up at a Soho hotel, such as the Karma Sanctum. Shows are 'audience-friendly', so don't be afraid to sit in the front row. Big-name comedians sometimes do 'secret' gigs here to practice for TV or larger audiences, and if you can't make it north to Scotland, you'll find Edinburgh Fringe previews here.
