About Us
Milli Group was founded in 2022 when two friends decided the London comedy scene needed to be a bit more queer.
Tired of performing in straight venues, being the only LGBTQ+ act on a bill, and feeling like they couldn’t invite their friends along without them becoming the punchline, they set out to build something better. What started as a single monthly night in a London bar quickly grew into something much bigger – eventually becoming the UK’s (and possibly the world’s) first permanent LGBTQ+ stand-up comedy club.
Since then, Milli Group has expanded into a multi-division entertainment company spanning venues, live shows, events, and production. Today, the group includes The Queer Comedy Club, Betty & Joan’s in Elephant & Castle, and its in-house production arm, Milli Productions.
While we’ve grown, our focus hasn’t changed. Everything we do is rooted in creating bold LGBTQ+ experiences – for our community, by our community.
Our dream is to showcase incredible LGBTQ+ talent in spaces that are welcoming, ambitious, and unapologetically bold.
Places where you feel safe to be yourself and inspired to express yourself.
Across our divisions — Milli Venues, Milli Shows, Milli Events, and Milli Productions — we develop and deliver original formats that bring people together, from comedy stages and club nights to broadcast and digital content.
We’ve produced Pride events, created and filmed original TV formats, and built spaces that champion LGBTQ+ voices. Along the way, The Queer Comedy Club has been recognised as “an institution” by The Guardian, while Live at The Queer Comedy Club was named one of the top shows to watch on release, and Best of the Queer Fringe was listed among the top LGBTQ+ shows at the Edinburgh Fringe by PinkNews and Gay Times.
As we grow, our ambition is simple: to create work that is distinctive, scalable, and culturally meaningful — while staying true to the audiences we started with.
