There are a variety of assets you can use to support Live Comedy Day - a day of celebration of live comedy taking place on 1st April 2026. The day is produced by Live Comedy Association in partnership with BBC Radio 4.

AT THE MOMENT THE PROJECT IS MAINLY BEING DELIVERED BY VOLUNTEERS AND VOLUNTEER TIME; WE HAVE RECEIVED LOTS OF IN KIND SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THE BRAND, AND WHO ARE LEADING ON THE NATIONAL PR CAMPAIGN. YOUR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL IN TERMS OF DELIVERING THE BEST DAY POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP US. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS:

1. POST OF YOUR SOCIALS ABOUT THE PROJECT; YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE THE MAIN LOGO IF YOU NEED THE LOGO IN DIFFERENT FORMATS, GET IN TOUCH.

2. WE HAVE CREATED A MEDIA RELEASE WHICH YOU ARE WELCOME TO CUT AND PASTE FROM. FEEL FREE TO USE THE QUOTES FROM THE AMBASSADORS IF YOU WISH.

3.WE HAVE CREATED THESE SLIDES TO SHOW ON SCREENS AROUND VENUES, OR PROJECT ON STAGE IF YOU HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGY.

4. WE ARE TRYING TO RAISE MONEY TO SUPPORT THE WORK WE ARE DOING, AND ALSO OTHERS WORKING IN LIVE COMEDY SECTOR. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE USE THIS TEMPLATE AND SEND IT TO YOUR MAILING LIST/CUSTOMERS AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT THE STAND UP AND GIVE FUND.

5.ON THE ACTUAL DAY, 1st APRIL 2026, PLEASE POST ON YOUR SOCIALS USING THE HASHTAG #myfirstcomedygig WE WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO POST ABOUT THEIR FIRST GIG. COMEDIANS CAN POST ABOUT THEIR FIRST SHOW, PROMOTERS CAN POST ABOUT THE FIRST GIG THEY PROMOTED, AND VENUES/CLUBS CAN POSTS ABOUT THE FIRST GIG THEY EVER ORGANISED.

6. LET US KNOW IF YOU KNOW ONE OF THE UK’S BIGGEST COMEDY FANS; WE ARE BUILDING A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SEE FAR TOO MANY LIVE COMEDY SHOWS AND MIGHT BE PREPARED TO TALK TO THE MEDIA ABOUT WHY THEY LOVE LIVE COMEDY SO MUCH. IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OF PEOPLE, SOUND THEM OUT FIRST, AND THEN ASK THEM (OR YOU CAN) EMAIL hello@livecomedyassocation.co.uk AND GIVE US THEIR DETAILS SO WE CAN HAVE A CHAT.

7. FIND OUT WHO YOUR MP IS, OR WHO YOUR MP's ARE. IF YOU DON’T KNOW CLICK HERE. ONCE YOU KNOW WHO YOUR MP IS, CONTACT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU DO, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVE COMEDY SECTOR ACROSS THE UK. LATER THIS YEAR WE ARE LIKELY TO BE DOING A CO-ORDINATED CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE PROFILE OF THE LIVE COMEDY ASSOCIATION (AND THE WORK OF OUR MEMBERS) AMONGST MP’s BUT WE’LL SEND MORE INFO ABOUT THIS TO MEMBERS IN A FEW WEEKS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ANY QUESTIONS, GET IN TOUCH
