What’s on at The Met?
Do you like to laugh? Don’t we all? Well, there are plenty of opportunities for a good chuckle (or even a few hearty guffaws) coming up at The Met. Our monthly First Thursday Comedy is a regular sell-out showcase of some of the finest stand-ups on the circuit, plus we get new shows from brilliant new talent, and the occasional big-name comedian dropping by. Always book early for comedy at The Met!
