Finding a venue
How it works
To perform at the Leicester Comedy Festival or the UK Kids' Comedy Festival, the first thing you need to do is find yourself a 'spot' in a venue. Most venues are booked by comedy promoters from Leicester or who come to the city for the festival, but some venues will book their own show schedule. Once yourself and the venue have come to an agreement, you can then register your show(s) with us!
