A COMEDY club forced to move out of its city centre premises has found a new home in East Oxford.

In January, Glee Club will start holding its regular comedy evenings at The Bullingdon in Cowley Road.

It comes after bosses said they would have to vacate their building in Hythe Bridge Street after owner Nuffield College gave six months’ notice.

The college struck a multi-million pound deal last year to take ownership of land near Frideswide Square and wants to redevelop the area.

But it meant Glee and neighbouring nightclub Wahoo were told they had to find new premises.

This morning the comedy club’s director, Mark Tughan, said: “We’re very proud of our track record, so we’re thrilled that we’ll be continuing to bring quality stand-up to Oxfordshire, in partnership with The Bullingdon, in just a few short months.

“The move marks the beginning of a new Glee era that we hope will be even more exciting.”

The Bullingdon general manager Paul Williams said: “We have established ourselves as a top music venue in the city, and now we are proud to be offering the best comedy available too.”

The first Glee show at the Bullingdon will take place on January 14.

But before the doors close at its Hythe Bridge Street premises, there will be a ‘final season’ featuring several well-known comedians.

Mr Tughan added: “Closing with this run of shows means we’ll be leaving the location on a real high.” For information, visit: glee.co.uk/venues/oxford
