The Comedy Store Players at The Comedy Store, London, 20 December 2026

The Comedy Store Players perform at The Comedy Store in London on Sunday 20 December 2026, with the show starting at 19:30. The Comedy Store Players are a group of improvisational comedians who perform at The Comedy Store in London. Shows last approximately 2 hours, including an interval, and the cast plays 6 or 7 games.

There is no single host and no points to be won, as the players take turns introducing and performing. Games that are usually played include Whoops, Freeze Tag, Guess The Job, Translation, Film & Theatre Styles, Musical, Emotions and The Three Headed Expert. In Whoops, each performer takes a turn telling a story while the audience shouts "Whoops!

" when one makes a mistake. Performances are usually with the regular cast, although a guest performer occasionally appears.

The five regular cast members are Josie Lawrence, Neil Mullarkey, Lee Simpson, Richard Vranch and Ruth Bratt. The group first came into being in October 1985 and was in the Guinness World Records in 2010 for being the world's longest-running comedy show with the same cast.
