Groucho Club Private Events

Club History

The Groucho Club is a private members' club open to men and women formed in 1985 dreamt up by a group of publishers as an alternative to stuffy gentleman's clubs. Around four hundred publishers, theatrical and media types put their hands in their pockets to create this new club. The premises were secured, renovation work was undertaken, the cellar filled with wine and the kitchens and bars staffed. On 5th of May 1985 The Groucho Club officially opened its doors for the first time. The name is from an often misquoted line by Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers comedy group that seems to be: ‘I sent the club a wire stating, please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept people like me as a member’.
