The UK’s leading comedy operator is celebrating its first anniversary in Leeds with a massive birthday line-up and a brand-new food menu.
Since opening in March 2025, the venue has become a staple of the city’s nightlife, pulling in huge weekend crowds. This milestone marks a successful expansion for the brand in Yorkshire, proving that the local appetite for live stand-up remains incredibly strong despite a competitive leisure market.
The celebrations officially kick off on March 23rd with a week of high-profile performances. Big names like Joe Lycett, Russell Kane, and Mario Adrion are set to appear, alongside rising stars like Michael Odewale and Lindsey Santoro. The venue is also hosting the World Comedy Clash and various drag shows as part of the festivities.
A spokesperson for The Glee Leeds said: “What an incredible first year it has been in Leeds. The city has embraced us with open arms, and the atmosphere on our sell-out weekends has been absolutely electric.”
The club is also using the anniversary to refresh its hospitality offering. A new menu featuring bar classics, cocktail pitchers, and beer buckets will launch alongside the live shows to update the guest experience.
The spokesperson added: “The birthday celebrations are just the beginning; we have a phenomenal line-up ahead and a brand-new menu to match. We are so proud of what we’ve built in Leeds, and we can’t wait to raise a glass and a giggle, to many more years of laughter in Leeds.”
Known for hosting icons like Peter Kay and Michael McIntyre at its other UK sites, the Leeds branch runs regular shows every Friday and Saturday. Tickets for the birthday events are available at www.glee.co.uk/leeds or via their social media at @gleeleeds.
