The Leadmill Comedy Festival: Everything you need to know

There’s even performances happening on a double decker bus


Are you struggling to work out what to do after exams? Looking for something different than just going down West Street or heading to Corp? Rather than drown your sorrows in cheeky Vimtos, why not drown them in laughter?

The Leadmill, a place well accustomed to putting on great gigs, are going to be putting on a whole week of comedy nights for you to enjoy.

Joe Lycett will be performing at The Leadmill

It’s going to be taking place at three stages, including one on a double decker bus, with a total of 53 acts and 41 shows being performed. There will also be preview shows for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so it’s one not to be missed.

Announced acts include Joe Lycett, Sara Pascoe, Mark Watson, Russell Kane and Ross Noble.

It’s taking place from 5th – 11th June (the final week of exams). Tickets are selling fast, with some shows already selling out, and cost from £5 to £17. They can be bought here.
