Comedy Festival Events

Leicester Fridge was created in 2014, when we were asked by Big Difference Company (the company behind Leicester Comedy Festival) to put on a series of events to showcase the local scene. We went way beyond this, offering free promotion, marketing and assistance to local acts and staging a huge Preview Show before the festival.

This activity carries on to this day, and for our efforts we've been nominated for at least one award each year including Best Promoter, Contribution to the Festival and Best Kids' Show. In 2017 our Naked Comedy show won the Liberty Award for embodying the spirit of the festival.
​
​This year we are staging our annual sell-out preview show in January 2018, plus 3 showcase events in the first weekend of the festival. All four shows have become established fixtures in the comedy calendar and more than often sell out, so book those tickets early!

2017 FESTIVAL SHOWS:

​Fridge Preview Show
Every January at The Cookie, we present a fast-paced mixed bill, bursting with as many local acts as we can cram in, each of them performing short teasers for their upcoming festival shows. It's the ideal way to discover great new shows to see at the upcoming festival, and has sold out three years in a row, so book early! This year's Preview Show will be hosted by 'Funny Women' finalist Sarah Keyworth.
NEXT EVENT: Saturday 20th Jan 2018 at The Cookie, 68 High Street, Leicester LE1 5YP.

Battle for Leicester
Four of Leicester's regular comedy nights go head-to-head in a stand-up challenge to decide whose is the funniest night in town. The winner receives the unique trophy, made from the rubble of Leicester's demolished Welford Place offices. This year, defending champions Proper Funny host the event on their home turf (The Criterion) against challengers Club Smashing, Comedy & Cocktails and Canteen Comedy. “Showed the breadth of talent there is in Leicester’s thriving comedy scene” - Leicester Mercury.
NEXT EVENT: Friday 9th Feb 2018 at The Criterion, 44 Millstone Lane, Leicester LE1 5JN.

Naked Comedy (in aid of MIND)
A total sell-out show last year, and winner of the Liberty Award for embodying the spirit of the festival. Male and female comedians face their biggest fear and perform totally starkers for charity. This year's charity is MIND for better mental health, so as well as seeing some pretty eyewatering sights, you'll be helping a great charity. Not for the feint-hearted! Advance tickets only, no door sales.
NEXT EVENT: Friday 9th Feb 2018 at Manhattan34, Rutland St, Leicester LE1 1RD.

The pub quiz with a difference, in which teams get points for funny answers as well as correct ones. A team of comedians is also on hand to provide extra silliness. Standard pub quiz rules apply - no tickets required, just turn up on the day and chuck in a quid per team member to take part!
NEXT EVENT: Sunday 11th Feb 2018 at Broood, 24 King St, Leicester LE1 6RL
