   • The Bill Murray. What A go-to destination for stand-up lovers, The Bill Murray in Angel – formerly the Mucky Pup pub – is the brainchild of the team behind hugely successful pay-what-you-want gig Angel Comedy (see above).
   • Angel Comedy. What Angel Comedy’s shows at The Camden Head are free (donations welcome); those at The Bill Murray are great value. On Fridays and Saturdays, catch handpicked rising stars and a few professional comics performing their funniest sets, and weekdays feature either new material spots, improv troupes or solo shows.
   • Soho Theatre. What It’s not technically a comedy club: Soho Theatre’s main focus is fringe, well, theatre (you might’ve guessed that from the title.) But across its three performances spaces, this is undoubtedly the best venue for interesting, innovative and downright funny comedy in London.
   • The Boat Show. What The line-ups aboard this floating comedy club are consistently superb, with a mix of circuit pros, breakthrough TV stars and established up-and-comers.

   • Peep Show. Tell me, who is the greatest British comedy character of the 21 century, and why is it Super Hans? Matt King’s stringy counter-culture hedonist is just one of flat-share comedy Peep Show’s many highlights.
   • Fleabag. There’s a reason why this show created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge adapted from her play of the same name won multiple awards (and tops this list).
   • Derry Girls. Lisa McGee’s 1990s-set Northern Irish sitcom is an energetic blast of nostalgia and comedic joy about five 16-year-old schoolfriends in Derry.
   • The Office. A list of the comedy series influenced by Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais’ The Office would be almost as long as this one. At least a few on this list – W1A, This Country and People Just Do Nothing, maybe even Detectorists in a roundabout way – probably wouldn’t have happened without it, and that’s not to mention all the US comedies that owe their existence to the workplace mockumentary, from Parks & Rec to Party Down, of course, the long-running American remake.

   Is 'smoking' a comedy?

   • But “Smoking,” written and created by Brian Dooley, has a fascinating timelessness in its format. The show is set in a dingy break room and almost never leaves it — think “oops, all bottle episodes.” It’s a single-camera comedy, but it isn’t a mockumentary; this alone makes its rhythms more like a stage play’s than a sitcom’s.

   Is 'the smoking room' a good love story?

   • Entire love stories play out this way. The obvious comparison here is the British “Office,” but that show feels cacophonous, almost explosive in comparison — a parade versus a snow globe. Plenty of British comedies can be described as being about restraint, but “The Smoking Room” takes this to a funny, brilliant extreme.

   Does the smoking room have a plot?

   • There is no major plot to speak of, and almost nothing happens-happens, so “The Smoking Room” relies mostly on dialogue and character. In some ways it is a show carved in relief or composed only of scraps — it has the patter and inconsequence of a cold open but for a half-hour, until the shape of what has not been said is as stark as what has.
