Andy C Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Saw this mentioned in the Sheffield Telegraph today, the first one should be 1-16 October NEXT year, with many venues large and small taking part. Toby Foster was bigging it up, and suggested he hoped that in time it would rival the Edinburgh fringe. Sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiesh Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have booked for Jeremy Hardy on Tuesday and Alan Carr the following Wednesday - I am really looking forward to it!! I went to some shows at the Leicester Comedy Festival a few years ago and it was brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I went to the first night at the Lescar last night, and it was great. Two young comedians, Dan Atkinson and Tom Wrigglesworth (a Sheffield lad), who may not be household names but had a superb reception from the audience. It's The Book Club tonight at the Lescar, with Robin Ince (mate of Ricky Gervais, was in The Office I think) which promises to be excellent as well.

Cat :-) Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Can't believe what those cheeky blighters at Grin Up North have done now!!! Check out the leedscomedyfestival website to see what I mean. Bet the good folks in Leeds don't see the funny side!!! Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Have you got a link Cat? Google's not bringing up an official site for Leeds Comedy Festival, weirdly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat :-) Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 yeah, it's www leedscomedfestival .com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlaugh Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It's going great so far. Jeremy Hardy tonight at The Memorial Hall. And yes, some councillor in Leeds appears to be a bit upset about the leedscomedyfesival.com site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnkysknky Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 That's genius with the leedscomedyfestival.com site After missing everything last year I remembered to get tickets for Ross Noble and Jeff Green this time - yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowski Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm going to see Ross Nobel and Jeff Green too! I've also got tickets to see Mitchell and Webb (but I don't think they're officially part of the festival) and Mark Thomas and Ed Byrne but those two are in Doncaster as thats where I live and the tickets were cheaper! Just a word of warning about the book club, I saw it at edinburgh and it was pants! Not at all what I expected it to be, the best way to describe it is like a very bad family talent show!
