Hello, we give up.

We’ve tried to write this hello in a number of ways, emphasising the wide variety of comedy nights (and days), the development of the Festival to have many more Midlands-based comedians at the heart of what we do and the genuine desire of all involved to work with businesses and venues for the first time. However, it is very difficult.

Therefore, read on, the inside says it much better than we can in 200 words, so there’s really only two other things left to say. One is that with the Festival this year why not do something different, try and get to more than one gig, perhaps taking a risk on a show without the bloke from the TV in it; get involved yourself with the improv evenings; come along to the Super hero Blast Off launch (16 Apr) and wear your pants over your trousers. Whatever you fancy, do get along to a show, as well as household names, this Festival supports emerging talent, particularly for Derbyshire, and it’d be good if you could too.

And two, thank you to everyone involved this year, for all the behind the scenes work and the general encouragement.

Thanks, laughs and kind regards, Bob, Paul, Helen, Dan & Matt
