Professional comedians enjoy appearing at the clubs; as Tom Allen reported: "The Glee Club people are excellent at creating an environment where people can enjoy themselves. There’s a science to getting the venue and night out right and they are great at attention to detail, everything from the welcome at the door to getting the lighting right. In the past comedy could be quite a macho environment and the Glee Clubs have been great at tackling that and making sure their bills feature diverse performers."
