Leicester Comedy Festival is the longest running comedy festival in the UK and is independent, managed by Big Difference Company. The festival receives little financial support from public bodies but is grateful for the continued funding from Leicester City Council and sponsorship we receive from various organisations. Details of those companies are shown here.
We want to remain independent and are now turning to you, our friends, to ask for your continued help. Any money received via the friends scheme will help support our community programme, Make Me Happy.
You can join now for the newly extended 17 day Festival in February 2010, and take full advantage of all these lovely benefits we have for you: And all this for £35 a year OR £45 for double membership! Ludicrous!
Stuck for Christmas presents? Festival Amigos membership would make the perfect gift for a loving comedy fan…
What will your friendship do?
As a friend you are helping us not only develop the festival but also to keep the cost of participation as low as possible, increasing and encouraging access for everyone. Any profits made from the Friends Scheme will be invested in our Make Me Happy community programme.
