I went to The Library comedy club in malate Manila on Thursday 27 th feb 2014 with some Filipino friends. We paid the 150 peso entrance fee we went in and there's guys on stage with 1 lady I was fearing the worse because I couldn't understand a word they were saying . I ended up staying 6 hours and leaving at 3 30 am we ordered lots of food and drink at very reasonable rates. And I can honestly say I left crying in fits of laughter it was a great night highly recommended.

Went to The Library twice while in Manila in February, 2015. Heading back to the Philippines in April 2016 and cant wait to go to The Library again.
Actors and actresses, singers, skits - were all amazing. They invited my (American-Filipino) husband up on stage and he performed a few numbers with them. He is also a great dancer. Was so much fun we went back and took our niece with us. She had a great time, too.
The folks there are wonderful and funny. Definitely recommend...a mixed crowd, but definitely a gay theme.

I can never forget The Library Malate now that I've witnessed its newest branch in Metrowalk Ortigas. It's fun and all the food choices are soo good. I love their french fries and their original The Library Chicken. It's crispy goood! Can't wait to go back and watch the FHM -Fat Hot Mommas on stage. Watch out for surprise guests too!

This is the original and best comedy Bar in Manila! It's a unique cultural experience, showing the best side of the philipinno character and culture. The good humoured banta flows all night, the singing (for tips) is top quality entertainment, and the headline acts are brilliant. It doesn't matter if it's in Tagalog or English, you will still be laughing along. Drinks are fair priced, top value, even with a Peso 250 entrance fee (I'd pay 500!).
Add this to your list if must do things in Manila, you will come back again!

My hubby wasn't impressed at first because I told him it's going to be in taglish (English with Tagalog) but all he heard was Tagalog hehe! But he soon enjoyed it when they started singing. The humour combined with their excellent voices really what makes The Library one of the best comedy bars in Metro Manila and I'm so glad we went.
