JONGLEURS Comedy Club is coming to Liverpool.
The famous comedy brand, which already runs 16 venues across Britain, is due to open a new club in the Rope Walks area next year.
The new club is being created behind the facade of buildings in Seel Street by development company Frenson.
The design is by architects Shed KM, and construction workers from McLeans' small works builders are on site.
Frenson managing director Max Stone said: "The club should be open for business before Christmas next year.
"This is a completely new, purpose-built theatre we're currently excavating.
"It has taken us three years to get Jongleurs to sign, but I was determined to get them.
"What I really want to achieve is a softening of what goes on in Concert Square as it moves out through Seel Street and Wolstenholme Square.
"There's nowhere for people in the 30 to 40 age bracket to lunch or spend their evenings and not be part of the hard drinking."
The new club will be next to a public area and will have links through to Fleet Street and to the new Paradise development.
Jongleurs was founded in Battersea, London, in 1983 by Maria Kempinska, who operates the company with partner John Davy.
The club has helped launch the careers of stars including Harry Enfield and Jack Dee.
Kempinska still selects every comedian who performs for Jongleurs.
A Jongleurs spokesman said: "It's an exciting move to Liverpool which is a great city."
Jongleurs will join Liverpool comedyclubs including Rawhide, run at the Royal Court theatre, and Laughterhouse at the Albert Dock.
Police oppose nightclub plan
DEVELOPERS want to build a 1,000-capacity nightclub alongside Jongleurs.
But police are opposing the Frenson scheme because of the huge array of bars around Concert Square.
The scheme would convert a warehouse in Concert Street and Seel Street into a three-storey venue with bar and restaurant in a new complex called Concert Steps.
Sgt Paul Douglas, licensing officer, said: "Another big licensed premises will mean we have reached saturation point. If it was anywhere else, we would not be making any observations."
The development is part of a larger project by Frenson to build four new licensed premises around Concert Square.
Walkabout and neighbouring Mood were completed during the first phase. The Concert Steps nightclub would stand behind it.
Frenson said it would pay towards the policing costs if the club was approved.
Managing director Max Stone said: "The police's concern is not about licensed premises, rather the fact there could be too many for their own resources.
"But Liverpool council have zoned this area off for nighttime activities."

No-where else would complain at the prospect of "too many people" in any area of a city centre.
Last year, the Matthew Street festival was estimated to have attracted 370,000 to the city centre.
Liverpool can easily cope and with a lot more as well and, if we can't, we'll just have to take actions to alleviate the reasons why rather than limit ourselves.
I'm tired of excuses in Liverpool on why we can't do things, let's have a panel set up to find answers to any problems and blow the small thinkers and pessimists out of the water before they ruin us totally.
