Every group has a reluctant organiser; the one who makes sure that everyone gets together regularly and has a great night out. If you hold that position in your group then why not arrange a fun night out at a Comedy Club for a refreshing change?
Organisers often love and hate their role in equal measure. They enjoy being in control and have naturally good organisational skills, but the task of pleasing everyone can be a difficult and thankless one. Make things much easier on yourself by organising a no-fuss night out at a Comedy Club.
Perfectly suited to group gatherings, comedy shows are a chance to kick back and relax with friends. Great British comedy never fails to entertain, and laughing with friends is one of life’s great pleasures.
Highlight is a great nationwide Comedy Club venue, so no matter where you are you can find a highlight club near you. If you’re looking to organise a great group night out in the Midlands and fancy comedy Birmingham is the place to head. With several clubs in London and Scotland, as well as Portsmouth, Leicester, Birmingham and Leeds, you can enjoy a night out at highlight whatever your location.
The organiser of a group often falls into the role naturally and is likely to be a highly organised creative thinker who values friendships and is highly sociable. Some may say the organiser has a tendency to be bossy but they like to see it as having natural leadership skills.
Some hippy types feel that star sign plays a part in whether a person naturally gravitates towards a leadership role. Leos are natural leaders but have a tendency to be bossy, and their egos can mean that they often go with their idea of a perfect night out rather than considering the group as a whole. Scorpios also prefer to lead rather than follow, but their terrible tempers can lead to tantrums if things don’t go according to plan.
Let’s face it; group nights out rarely go to plan, particularly when alcohol is involved. The organiser has the unenviable task of keeping the night on track, keeping the group together and making sure that everyone gets home safely. One of the reasons why a night at highlight Comedy Clubs is ideal for a group occasion is that it’s a one-venue evening, making it easier to keep everyone together and allowing the event organiser to relax, too.
When you’re going from venue to venue you have to arrange transport and predict timings. This can be difficult to do and you can end up rushing your group or waiting around for the next ‘leg’ of your evening. At highlight you can begin your evening with drinks at the bar and then sit down to dinner before the comedy show begins. After the stand up show there’s music and dancing so you don’t need to round off your night standing in a long queue in the cold to hand over a ridiculous amount of money to get into a club.
The other benefit of choosing an under-one-roof venue is that it can save money as well as hassle over the course of the night. Taxi fares can soon add up. Taxis can also be difficult to come by and are unreliable during weekends. Going from bar to bar to restaurant to club is a pain for those involved as it costs money and is weather dependent. When the weather is being typically British, venturing out every 30 minutes is a pain and does hairstyles and outfits no favours whatsoever.
Making sure that everyone arrives safely at the next stop on the itinerary is often a major headache for an organiser, so go easy on yourself and choose highlight for an easy, low-effort change. All you need to do then is make sure that everyone turns up at the beginning of the night and gets home at the end.
Highlight venues also offer great value for money so you don’t have the lottery of walking into a bar and not knowing what the prices will be. Bottled beers including Becks, Stella, Sol, Budweiser, Peroni and Tiger are available, as well as bottles of Smirnoff Ice Red, Red Square Reloaded, Bacardi Breezer, Reef and WKD for those with a sweeter tooth.
Another reason that highlight is a great venue for group nights out is that it does great value drinks pitchers. John Smith's bitter, Tennent's lager, Strongbow cider and Guinness are all available in four pint pitchers for just over a tenner, making them great for the eternally skint who are keen to enjoy themselves on a budget.
The flashier members of the group will have ample opportunity to show off by splashing out on bottles of Laurent Perrier champagne, preferably for everyone! Not forgetting our responsible organiser, and the drivers or teetotallers of the group, soft drinks are also available.
Meals are also great value at just £6 each, including burgers, curries and pizzas. For those watching their waistlines then light meals including delicious buffalo mozzarella and grilled chicken salads are available. Even better value is the sharing buckets including chicken, fries and onion rings, which are perfect to pass around.
Once you’ve got a satisfied group, it’s time to settle them down to enjoy some fantastic British comedy. Some of the funniest stand up comedians around will have them rolling with laughter and every member of your group is guaranteed to go home with a big smile on their face.
A boogie rounds off the night perfectly and all that remains for you to do is to get everyone into their taxis and on their way. A night out at highlight will leave your group with memories of an effortless night of entertainment, food, drink and dancing that was great value for money.
Such a successful night out is sure to have cemented your position as top organiser and your group will soon be nagging you to organise their next big get together. You might protest that that’s no good thing but we all know that you love it really.
