For these ten days, the people of Leicester are treated to the most exciting - and funniest - comedians around. Like the festival, Chortle.co.uk celebrates the best the UK’s vibrant comedy scene. The website has constantly updated news, reviews and listings of what’s happening across the country – and you can leave comments about comedians you’ve seen at the festival. We are pleased to support the festival, which is now a key event in the comedy calendar, and are presenting a couple of events during it: a charity pub quiz all about comedy. We hope to see you there – or on the site.
