ACCESS GUIDE TO THE FESTIVAL

Comedy comes in many forms and Leicester Comedy Festival has always tried to reflect that in the events programmed and the people who are involved in creating each festival. This approach has existed since the event began in 1994 and has resulted in numerous projects and partnerships with organisations across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We’re proud of the work we do with others, as we try and ensure the festival remains “a pretty broad grin” (The Guardian) for as many people as possible.

ACCESS GUIDE For the 2021 festival we will once again be producing an Access Guide to the festival, which can be downloaded from our website www.comedy-festival.co.uk The guide will give information about physical access to the majority of our venues. If you need further information, please contact us by emailing

We are also producing a Mental Health toolkit to the festival, which we piloted last year in partnership with LAMP, The Samaritans and De Montfort University. The toolkit provides information about how you can visit the festival and remain happy and healthy throughout the 19 days.

If you have any comments about how we can continue to make the festival more accessible, please do get in touch via email info@bigdifferencecompany.co.uk
