PQ SPONSORS HULL COMEDY FESTIVAL

Princes Quay to Sponsor City Wide Comedy Festival

Hull’s funniest festival returns for two weeks’ worth of laughs    

 When: 1st – 18th November  

Now in its 12th year, the Comedy Festival is returning to Hull and with sponsorship from Princes Quay, it promises to be bigger and better than ever. Taking over the city, the event has previously pulled in some major names on the comedy scene, as well as supporting grassroots and upcoming entertainers. With the line-up yet to be revealed, residents are urged to keep an eye out for announcements.  

During the event, Princes Quay will be hosting numerous family-friendly shows, ensuring that the festival is accessible for everyone. Units within the centre will transform into 100 capacity comedy venues and will be fully kitted out with a stage, AV and lighting. Families will be encouraged to bring the kids down as the shopping centre will be hosting childrens’ activities and events.  

Centre Manager John Magee said 

“We’re thrilled to be sponsoring Hull Comedy Fest, it’s going to be great fun and we can’t wait to see what acts they have lined-up. We’ve decided to offer a special PQ stage to host events for all the family and we’ll be using one of our empty units to do so.  

It’s great to push the boundaries and explore how we can utilize the space in the centre, events such as Zany Races and Graduation ceremonies have proved incredibly popular so we’re sure the Comedy Fest will be a hit!”  

Other venues include; Hull City Hall, Hull Truck Theatre, Hull Minster & Bonus Arena and the full line-up is set to be released mid Septmeber.  

Festival Organiser Gary Jennison said: 

“We’re super excited to be going into our 12th year as a festival. This year we’ve got some fantastic acts lined up and we’ve tried to make sure that there’s something for everyone. It’s great that we’re able to partner with such a wide and varied range of venues and Princes Quay is no exception!  Expect fun, craziness and a lot of laughs.”
