There are more flyerers than ever before in Leicester Square, the problem is most, if not all of them are working for a scam comedy club, which is seemingly unaffected by any licensing issues, operating as it is out of a hotel. This club is run by someone with an absolutely abhorrent reputation in the industry, does not pay it's acts (in fact, for the £8 or £12 ticket price, it features either just the proprietor of the night insulting the audience for an hour, or a very mixed bag of comedians from the open mic circuit, all desperate to perform and learn their craft, but not necessarily worth the cover charge). The problem is, tourists coming to the area start to think this is representative of the quality of comedy in London, whilst plenty of well run nights, with cheaper entry fees, better (paid) acts are struggling to get an audience for fear of flyering in the square.
