Do the Comedy Store just have Manchester and London, or are there any international franchises?

Warrington, Durham, Cleethorpes and Bolton are one offs on a monthly basis i think (cleethorpes might be 3 monthly) and Mumbai
The Comedy Store in Sydney is it's own enterprise as are the american ones to the best of my knowledge

Yes the American one opened first. The Don and Peter Rosengard named the UK club after it. The American one was started by Pauly Shore's parents. The Mumbai one is franchised from the UK club. Roger Monkhouse was going over there to play it, I don't know if he has or not yet.

The Comedy Store - the one owned by Don Ward - has two established venues (London and Manchester) and one due to open next month in Mumbai.

The Comedy Store in Mumbai is expected to open on 10th June 2010.
