We have teamed up with some of the best comedy podcasts around who will be visiting the festival to record episodes live, in front of you – our lovely audience. This is your chance to see behind the scenes and if you laugh loudly, you may end up hearing yourself on the broadcast. If you can’t make it to Leicester, don’t worry. Tune in and catch the podcast festival specials from a device near you.
Following the success in recent years, we continue to organise a series of talks, discussions and seminars aimed at people who want to delve a little deeper into issues linked to contemporary society and comedy. Most of the topics this year focus on how comedy, and the comedy industry has been impacted on by Covid- full details in the listings.
LAUGH TERM COMEDY SCHOOL We are bringing back our Laugh Term Comedy School which is an opportunity for young people to learn stand-up comedy and comedy performance skills. This year the “school”, which takes place over half term (gettit?!) will be hosted in partnership with Curve Theatre – full details are in the listings.
