Turn those frowns upside down if you’ve missed out on Belly Laughs tickets as Comedy on the Cobbles is returning to King Street and Welsh Back on Monday 16th January for a one-off night of January-blues-banishing comedy, food and drink.
With many of Bristol’s Belly Laughs events now sold out, this fresh batch of tickets for the second year of the Comedy on the Cobbles event are sure to be snapped up in no time. Working in partnership with Bristol City Centre BID, the event will see some of the city and wider UK’s finest comedians entertain and delight audiences across 11 of the city centre’s eateries, bars and pubs for a one-of-a-kind jam-packed night of comedy. The evening will see comedians dashing between King Street and Welsh Back venues, including Kongs of King Street, The Llandoger Trow, Bristol Old Vic, Small Bar, Aqua and many others, with audiences being treated to a surprise range of comedians throughout the evening. It’s not just all giggles, the Belly Laughs events support local, independent businesses and provide much-needed funding for local charities through TAP For Bristol in partnership with Caring in Bristol and Redcliffe and Temple BID. With the first £5 of every Comedy on the Cobbles tickets going straight to TAP For Bristol, the additional 755 tickets available for the King Street and Welsh Back events will raise £3,775 for the charity. TAP For Bristol, which has contactless donation points set up across the city, works with local charity Caring in Bristol, providing funding for their homelessness prevention project, as well as providing emergency support grants to other charities within Bristol that support those in need.
Tickets for Comedy on the Cobbles range from £5 to £30 depending on the venue and whether or not food and/or drinks are included in the ticket price. Some tickets include extra goodies such as pizza and prosecco, burgers and beer, or a drink and a slice, with the additional money going straight back to the Bristol venue. Vicky Lee, Head of Bristol City Centre BID, said: “We can’t wait for Comedy on the Cobbles to return to the centre of Bristol for the second year. King Street and Welsh Back have such a great buzz about them, and the evening’s entertainment from Belly Laughs’ top tier comedians is sure to bring lots of laughter. What could be better than an evening of good food and great comedy that helps support a local charity in some of Bristol’s best independent venues? We’ll see you there!”
