About Whole Comedy Club Hire
550 Standing / Reception
140 Seated
The railway arches come alive when you book our entire Comedy Store Manchester for your exclusive event. With 500 theatre seats at your disposal, plus three distinct bar areas and our restaurant space, you have the run of a venue that's been making Manchester laugh since we opened these doors. The main bar stretches along exposed brick archways, where your guests can gather beneath the curved ceiling that's witnessed countless comedy legends. Our long wooden bar counter serves as the social hub, while the spacious wooden floors give everyone room to move between conversations. We've positioned large screens throughout, so whether you're running a company AGM or showcasing award nominees, every angle works. Through the archways, our lounge areas offer something different. Groups naturally gravitate to the colourful sofas tucked into the brick alcoves, where daylight streams through large windows overlooking Deansgate. These intimate corners balance perfectly with the energy of the main space, creating natural flow for networking events or celebration drinks. Our restaurant section transforms depending on your needs. Sturdy wooden tables accommodate 140 seated guests, though we often reconfigure for cocktail receptions hosting up to 550 people. The kitchen stays busy during private events, serving everything from our famous steak and ale pies to lighter options like pizzas and pasta dishes. The theatre itself remains the star attraction. Those 500 seats ensure everyone gets a proper view, whether you're bringing in live entertainment or delivering corporate presentations. The original industrial architecture, with its exposed brickwork and authentic railway arch structure, gives your event immediate character without needing extra decoration. Just steps from Deansgate station, guests find us easily in the heart of Manchester's Locks district. We've hosted everything from product launches to birthday celebrations in these arches, each event taking on its own personality within our historic walls.
