This is a brand-new venture from the sibling team behind a series of successful comedy festival’s running annually across London and the South.
For the last fifteen years Will Briggs and Cass Randolph have been delivering their signature blend of meticulous comedy programming in boutique-festival settings to sell-out crowds. The pair are now looking forward to arriving in Manchester.
Will says “We’ve been dreaming of bringing this festival to Manchester for a long time now, the city should absolutely have a stand-out event showcasing the wealth of comedy talent around at the moment. There’s a golden age for comedy right now, with so many platforms to enjoy amazing content. Many of our acts have their own TV or podcast series, but nothing beats live, and we can't wait to put these acts in front of a Manchester crowd. We already know the shows are going to be electric!”
This year’s event is partnered with heycar. Chief Commercial Officer Karen Hilton said: “With this year’s inaugural LAUGHTERAMA in Castlefield Bowl, it’s shaping up to be an incredible, feel-good summer. We have so much laughter to catch up on after the last few years and I can’t think of a better way to do it. The line-up is truly world-class and we’re particularly looking forward to seeing the incredible James Acaster, and my personal favourite, Aisling Bea in action. heycar is honoured to be sponsoring this incredible event and we can’t wait to see everyone in Manchester this September!”
