Some of comedy's longest-running clubs have announced changes and additions to their venues.

In London, the long-running Meccano club is on the move, On The Tiles is closing down and Amused Moose is adding another venue.

Meanwhile, Yorkshire's longest running-club, The Last Laugh in Sheffield, is expanding to fill a second venue.

The Meccano has been forced to find another home for the second time in two years, because its current base, The Dove Regent in Islington is closing down.

The well-established club moved there in 2000 after its home of many years, The Market Tavern, underwent a facelift which left no room for comedy.

Its last show is this Saturday, and will start anew next week in the Slug and Lettuce on Islington Green.

The Dove Regent was also home to On The Tiles on Thursday nights, so that club is also hosting its last night tonight.

Meanwhile, in Soho, the Amused Moose is switching to a new venue for Saturday nights only. While it remains below the Barcode bar on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, it will now be at the nearby Propaganda bar for the most popular night of the week.

Promoter Hils Jago said: "Less than a year after moving into Barcode, it's incredible that Saturdays have become so busy we've had to move again to a newer venue."

The opening-night line-up at the new location includes Noel Fielding and Adam Bloom.

In Sheffield, Last Laugh Too opens its doors at The Rutland Hotel, Glossop Road on March 7.

The additional venue will run on the same nights and with the same line-ups as the club's other base, The Lescar, with acts playing both rooms the same night.

Promoter Toby Foster said: "We've been hugely busy this year and The Lescar club sells out early on in the week, which means we spend most of our time turning people away.

"The new venue is lovely, all seated and will take about 100 folk, and will be compered by Justin Moorhouse."

The Last Laugh celebrates its tenth birthday this year, and Foster puts the club's success down to its atmosphere. "The club is just like a get-together of mates, every Thursday," he said.
