  • Do i have to be Sober to attend one of your events & shows?

On the day YES, but you do not need to be living a life of sobriety. We have many people attend our events & The London Alcohol-Free Comedy Club who are simply just choosing not to drink alcohol for the afternoon. They would rather enjoy a great day out without the hassle that can sometimes comes with alcohol fuelled audiences !

  • I’ve booked a ticket but now can’t make the show. Can I have a refund?

Our refund and exchange policy clearly states that we do not offer refunds or exchanges on tickets booked. You wouldn’t book a ticket to a theatre or cinema and then change your mind and ask for your money back? We are no different, and have large overheads to meet for our unique shows here at this large London Alcohol-Free Event.

  • My friends have booked tickets separately, but can we sit together?

Of course! Just make sure to arrive early at venue and head to the box office. We will do our upmost to sit you all together at this London Sober Event. We want you to get maximum enjoyment from our shows, Sober Laughing Out Loud with your friends at this unique London Sober Social!

  • What time do we need to arrive on the afternoon?

Ok, so firstly doors open at 2pm on the afternoon of the show , with show starting at 3.30pm. Many people arrive early to soak up the atmosphere in the large bar space beforehand at this London Sober Event. It’s a great space to meet other likeminded non-drinkers, and maybe even enjoy a game of Pool, Table Tennis or Table Football.

  • What Alcohol-Free Drinks are on offer?

Firstly, we get that not everyone likes to drink Alcohol-Free alternative drinks, and for that reason we have a great mix of Adult Soft Drinks and fantastic big brand AF beers & alternatives on offer at this London Alcohol-Free Event . Maybe enjoy a mocktail, AF wine or simply a large fruit juice with us at this London Alcohol-Free Event . The extensive AF menu at The BackYard Comedy Club can be found HERE.

The show will be finished by 5.30pm – 5.45pm. This allows for any over run on the afternoon at this London Sober Social. We try to run a very tight ship, but sometimes a small over run can not be helped.

  • What is the age limit to attend a show?.

16+ is what we say. Please bare in mind you are at a Comedy Club and yes there maybe swearing and content of an adult nature.

  • Do I have to wear a name badge?

No! This may seem a strange question for some of you, but this does happen at some sober events. We are totally different to maybe another sober event you have attended in the past?. We are fully grown adults and just simply a friendly Comedy Club with no booze! If you want to know someone’s name just ask them, spark up an old fashioned conversation!

  • What if I dont find all the Comedians funny?

Ha! Stand-Up Comedy is subjective, what you find funny others may not ! We always have 4 Professional acts on the bill to appeal to all tastes! Many of them have appeared on TV. If you are easily offended, maybe an afternoon at a Comedy Club might not be for you ….Just saying !

( A little gentle reminder we are a COMEDY Club! 😊).

  • Do you host any other Alcohol-Free or Sober Shows in London?

    No! We pride ourselves on being the Original Professional Alcohol-Free Comedy Club in London & UK today, and are only at The BackYard Comedy Club. There are other Alcohol-Free / Sober shows now poping up in London & Beyond. Please be careful. We only use the best top comedians, guaranteeing you a great Alcohol-Free Stand-Up Comedy experience.
