The Royal Comedy Theatre, as it was then known, opened in London's West End on October 15, 1881. It was designed by Thomas Verity and built in just six months. By 1884 it was known as just the Comedy Theatre. In the mid-1950s the theatre went under major reconstruction and re-opened in December 1955.

The theatre's reputation grew through the First World War when C.B. Cochran and André Charlot presented their famous review shows. It is also noted for its part played in the late 1950s when it overturned stage censorship by forming the 'New Watergate Club' at the theatre. Plays that had been banned due to language or subject matter could now be performed under 'club' conditions.
