Comedy club withdraws plans to move into Grade II listed building

The owners of a Nottingham comedy club, which has been without a home since March 2023, has withdrawn plans to move into another city centre site.

In April, Glee Club owners, Comic Enterprises lodged plans to move into the Corn Exchange and Clinton Rooms at 10-12 Thurland Street in the heart of Nottingham city centre.

However, this week, those plans have been withdrawn.

The comedy club has revealed plans to move into the Grade II listed Corn Exchange and Clinton Rooms, which was last used by Roxy Ballroom and before that fellow comedy club Jongleurs.

The plans outline the creation of a new auditorium on the first floor, with a backstage area alongside a new bar. There will also be a minor extension at mezzanine level so that the kitchen space can be relocated – otherwise the floorspace of the building will remain tee same.

The comedy venue had to move out of its British Waterways home last March after works started to redevelop it into a residential scheme.

Williams Gallagher, Comic Enterprises’ agent, has been contacted for comment.
