I always recommend XS Malarkey if you are in Manchester; and Backyard Comedy Club if you are in London :)
Both are a space for new and A-List comedians to use the stage to try out new material; and its less than £10 a ticket.
I have also started to go to Bright Club Manchester where researchers and nerds do geeky jobs around an academic theme. Perfect for Manchester with our 4 universities and many colleges.
Also I would recommend Stewart Lee's show Basic Lee ... it has a surprise.

Chris Karaiskos I would say if you're new to him - start with Tony-Law-Lite "An Hour & Some of Tony Law" - it's early stuff and it has the scaffolding to ease you into his style. Then after you can get into experience solid 100% Tony in "Maximum Nonsense" or my personal favourite "Go Mr Tony Go". However if you're used to stretching your comfort zone and enjoying surreal whimsey then just plunge directly into "Go Mr Tony Go". It's such a shame he didn't save any of his lockdown twitch stuff, but... OOoooooOOOOooo google "LIVE COMEDY: Tony Law and Phil Nichols are VCEB!" Nextup has a recording on their Facebook <3 This is what they would do in lockdown!!!!!!!!!!! Something else! Hold onto your hat!
