New comedy venue set to open in Worthing town centre as The Comedy Rooms looks to expand
A new comedy venue is set to open in Worthing, bringing The Comedy Rooms shows to the heart of the town centre.
The 3 Word Group has applied to Worthing Borough Council for a new premises licence for The Comedy Rooms at Global House, Portland Square.
The council granted planning permission in November to change the use of first-floor offices at Global House to Sui Generis, specifically for use as a live comedy / entertainment venue.
The site was previously occupied by law firm WMC Legal LLP but the solicitors vacated the premises on September 21.
The company already runs The Comedy Rooms shows at various venues, including the Guildbourne Centre in Worthing and Wick Football Club.
The premises licence application is seeking authorisation for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises.
Alcohol sales would be 5pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday, 11am to 11pm Sunday. The venue opening times would be 5pm to 11.30pm Monday to Saturday, 11am to 11.30pm Sunday.
The applicant has offered a set of conditions to address the licensing objectives.
The consultation closes on Friday, January 16, and a committee hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11 at 6.30pm, if required.
