The Comedy Tree opened in 2002 and was the brain-child of comics Pete Jonas (right) & Erich McElroy (left). While the actual details are forever blurred by alcohol, their dream was to start a comedy night that wasn't as shit as the clubs they were playing at the time.

Combining Pete’s evil corporate marketing skills and Erich’s ability to smile and nod, the two approached management at the Litten Tree Putney and told them a massive pack of lies. The landlord bought it and new chapter in London’s comedy scene was born.

 

 

The Comedy Tree is now one of South West London’s most popular comedy clubs, renowned for it's high quality shows and a fun and intimate atmosphere.

Pete & Erich's debut Edinburgh 2006 show,
Brokeback Britain, was a hit with audiences and critics alike and was sold out for the entire Edinburgh run. Click the link above to laugh at their gay outfits.

 The two also write a weekly satirical news piece called Comedy Tree News which is published in the Australian Times, New Zealand Times
and the South African.
