About This Event

Live at the Pentahotel brings a weekly Friday night comedy club to Reading, launching at 8pm on 4 September 2026. Each evening presents a rotating lineup of comedians drawn from the UK circuit, ensuring a fresh set of acts week after week. Doors open at 7.30pm, and tickets are priced at just £8. The intimate setting of the Pentahotel Reading allows for a close-up view of the performers, who range from sharp observational storytellers to deadpan absurdists. The tone is warm and witty, with a focus on the craft of live comedy rather than spectacle. This is not about gimmicks or loud performances; it is about skilled comedians honing their material in a space that values nuance and connection. Whether you are a regular follower of the circuit or simply after a low-key Friday night out, the club offers a reliably entertaining evening. The emphasis remains squarely on the quality of the acts, making it a welcome addition to Reading’s live entertainment scene.
