I believe Comedy is now based in Grafton House, on the corner of Cleveland Street and Euston Road. And if anyone knows the significance of that name without Googling, they can have a gold star.

Guessing: Was it the site of the Grafton Arms? Jimmy Grafton's pub where Spike Milligan wrote the Goons?

Nope, The Grafton Arms is still there, and indeed close by - but you've hit on the significance to comedy being (apparently) based there!

Just watched this , it was very good and interesting! Lovely 2 hours of reflection on a great place! Shame it's going!

Loved the Madness concert - and somehow I wasn't at all surprised to see Wilko turn up.

Still smiling - what a trooper!
