The Monkey Tree

It is unusual to find entertainment that is completely free of charge, but Monday night is Comedy night at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East. They may not be the ‘giants of comedy’ yet but who knows who you might see that will be famous one day? There is no need to book, just turn up and have a laugh! Details of the theatre can be found at www.stratfordeast.com

Alternatively, you could take a chance and queue at ‘TKTS Leicester Square’. TKTS offers cheap tickets for same day matinee and evening theatre shows in the West End. There’s no guarantee that you will get tickets to a particular show but if you have an evening free and are feeling adventurous, who knows what you will see! You can find TKTS in the clocktower building on the south side of the garden in Leicester Square, and it is the only free standing building in the square, rather than round the edge.
