The Frog and Bucket Comedy Club

A home-grown comedy classic gone global (well - national) Manchester's The Frog and Bucket has ushered in stand-up stalwarts from Peter Kay to Steve Coogan since starting life as a small city-centre pub in 1993. Now housed in a bigger venue due to popular demand, it continues to draw the biggest names in British comedy as well as using its "Beat The Frog" evening to nurture up-and-coming local talents.
