What is Cumbria Comedy?
I have set up cumbriacomedy.com for established comedians to come to Cumbria and do gigs in venues that they wouldn't normally think of (or even know about). I know that there is a massive amount of you wanting good acts instead of having to make do with who ever is cheapest for the venue. The acts that I have already spoken to will make these nights unrivalled in South Cumbria!
How did this idea come about?
My one and only mission on this project is to get some truly unbelievable comedians in to local venues at reasonable prices.
Even though this is a fledgeling company, I have been working with top class comedians for about 5 years and been organising events for nearly 10 years. I decided to do this after going to a local venue to a comedy night that could have seated 350 people, I looked around and realised that there were only about 200 people there. This was because the venue did very little to advertise its shows. I plan to do as much as I can to get the word out for my events. This will include local papers and radio. But the best advertising is word of mouth. I want to get people to talk about Cumbria Comedy. The way to do this is to make the nights unforgetable. This can be done by mixing the best possible acts with good organisation. Both of which I can do!
Each night will have at least 2 comedians and an MC. I will also be getting some new comedians for to do a 10 min set in the first half.
