The Metro Comedy Club in Žižkov is one spot dedicated to weekly English-language comedy events to check out often. Visitors to the club can expect open mic and themed comedy events. From roast battles, and storytelling, to dark comedy shows every week from Wednesday to Saturday.

Beyond the laugh, the club creates an ambiance to loosen up by serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They also make an environment for socialization of their guests at the club’s comedy lounge before or after the show. Started by Kristýna Haklová, Metro Comedy Club was inspired by her experiences performing in Prague and Berlin.
