Leigh Folk Festival Midsummer Comedy Night

Following the success and "sell-out" status of our previous comedy events, this year we are moving to the Chalkwell Park Rooms in Westcliff. This venue provides the perfect setting for a night of top-tier stand-up.

This event is proudly sponsored by our Festival headline partners, the Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre. A massive thank you to The Joker Comedy Club for helping us secure this incredible line-up:

The Line-up

Andrew Maxwell: Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and the iconic voice of Ex on the Beach. Andrew is a master of fearless political satire delivered with legendary Irish charm.

Malinda Mukuma: Bringing fearless storytelling and cheeky, soulful banter to the stage.

Bert Broadbent: A classic working-class lad with hilarious East-End stories.

Ash Frith (Host): Our sharp-witted circuit pro and MC for the evening.
