Glee Club owner takes on fourth site

Comedy and music venue group Comic Enterprises is to open its fourth Glee Club after it took on a former Jongleurs venue in Nottingham.

Christie & Co re-let the Bar Risa/Jongleurs site to Comic Enterprises on behalf of BDO, the administrator for Regent Inns, which operated several Jongleurs clubs. Christie & Co also let the former Bar Risa/Jongleurs in Oxford, in March this year, to Cavendish Bars. Part of the deal saw Comic Enterprises take the former Jongleurs site on the property's first floor.

Christie & Co is currently acting on behalf of BDO to market the leasehold interests of a number of ex-Regent Inns sites, which are spread across England. This includes the Walkabout in Portsmouth city centre, which has recently been brought onto the market.

Mark Tughan, founder and owner of Comic Enterprises, said: "Appropriate sites for Glee Clubs are rare and we are delighted to have secured this space in a canalside location, which suits our destination-venue positioning."

Anthony Jenkins, associate director at Christie & Co, said: "These large city-centre leasehold units continue to attract interest from a wide range of operators. We are delighted to have secured this fourth site for Comic Enterprises."
