Originally home to the White Swan Pub in the 18th Century, The City Varieties became a music hall in 1865 and remains one of the few and best-maintained in Britain even today. In its heyday, performers such as Houdini and a pre-fame Charlie Chaplin graced its dais; though today Ken Dodd and Joe Pasquale are more likely candidates. However City Varieties organizes a wide range of entertainment including cabaret, opera, musicals and, notably, it's a major venue in the city for stand-up comedians.
