Budget hotel chain easyHotel is offering upcoming standup comedians free accommodation in its regional UK hotels.

The offer, which is open to new comedians on tour in the UK, is easyHotel’s way of acknowledging the positive contribution that Britain’s world-class standups make to the national mood.

Neil Fidler from easyHotel said: “Comedians improve our lives on a daily basis, and this is our way of thanking them for all the laughs and the hard graft of touring the UK.  After a tiring set, they can relax with a comfortable night’s sleep in one of our centrally-located hotels.”

easyHotels in Old Street (London), Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Leeds, Ipswich, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester and Croydon are each allocating an initial 10 free nights’ accommodation to standups.

To apply for a free room, standups should email a link or picture of the flyer from their local show featuring their name, the date of their gig and the local venue or the online link to [email protected].  Full details are available via links from the Twitter account @liedownstandup1.

Neil Fidler added: “We are also offering, on request, some of our exclusive four poster bedrooms as part of the offer.  Each room contains four carefully-curated inspirational posters, including ‘We all have the tools for greatness within us’, ‘The art of communication is the language of leadership’, ‘Limitations live only in our minds, but if we use our imaginations, the possibilities become limitless’ and ‘High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectations.’
