We're excited to announce Live Comedy Day!

Looks like the cat is out of the bag….. it’s fair to say I am unbelievably excited.

The illegitimate sector? As live comedy is largely unstructured and unsupported financially by government, it has been called the illegitimate sector.

This is exactly the kind of email that demonstrates there is a growing community of people who value grassroots live comedy. If you want to join in, get in touch.
Fabulous time in Brighton yesterday for @LiveComedyUK event at @KomediaBrighton It really feels like a community is building of people who care deeply about the UK live comedy sector and who want to make a difference.
An incredibly important piece of work. If your event attracts over 10,000 people they want to hear from you!

Absolutely delighted with this announcement this morning; it's a landmark moment for people working in UK live comedy. Much more to do, but this is a significant day! Massive thanks to everyone who has got us this far. If you aren't already involved, join us. @CommonsCMS
With all the coverage of Live Aid anniversary, does anyone else remember this song? I’m surprised it doesn’t get more coverage when charity/music projects are mentioned, especially stuff around band aid and live aid…… @UB40 @MadnessNews @thespecials

PLEASE help us continue to champion live comedy by completing the annual live comedy sector survey. You don't need to be a member of the LCA to complete it, you just need to be working in live comedy in the UK.

Thank you.

“The point has been really well made, particularly by the people in Leicester where there is a conglomeration of comedy clubs and their comedy festival. I'm keen to have a roundtable. (Live comedy) is a really important part of the sector & industry"

Huge thanks to @BayoAlaba for mentioning live comedy sector today in the @CommonsCMS evidence session of the Creative Industries Sector Plan. This is what @RhonddaBryant (Minister for Creative Industries, Arts and Tourism at Department for Culture, Media and Sport) said: 1/2
The fact that @glastocabaret @glastonbury invite me is lovely. The fact that they include me on the board outside the tent is extra lovely.
If you’re going to @glastonbury @glastocabaret come and say hi Sunday afternoon @zoelyons @KerryAGodliman
This is what Culture secretary @lisanandy said this morning: “Sport tells our national story in a way few other things can – uniting communities, inspiring millions, and showcasing our nation on the global stage.” 1/2
