VENUE
Bedford Esquires, 60A Bromham Rd, Bedford MK40 2QG.
Esquires are one of the country’s finest and most respected small independent grassroots venues and for the last 30 years has promoted and showcased talented new acts including some of the biggest bands in the world such as Coldplay, Muse and Biffy Clyro. Not all music venues suit live comedy but Esquires fits like a glove and is a brilliant venue for intimate and vibrant live stand-up comedy.
Disability Access: Regrettably we are not currently a fully accessible venue. Our main stage is up one flight of stairs so some customers may have difficulty with this.
