I always go to the Strand Comedy Club in the West End for a night out when I am in Glasgow. Small club with a very good atmosphere and the standard of acts is brilliant at least on weekends when I have always went. Sometimes you will get big name comedians playing. Think its like £10 on a Saturday and cheaper other nights. There is also a bar in it beside the stage.

Turn left when you come out the main entrance and it's about a fifteen/20 minutes walk if irc to the AG&M.
