Following the recent launch of both the UK Live Comedy Sector report and Live Comedy Day, the Live Comedy Association (LCA) are delighted to have been invited to a roundtable meeting with Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Arts Ian Murray MP to discuss the comedy sector. 

The Live Comedy Association (LCA), in partnership with the Centre for Comedy Studies Research (CCSR) and British Comedy Guide (BCG), has released the findings of the UK Live Comedy Sector Survey 2025. 

The Live Comedy Association (LCA) has received confirmation that the government intends to include permanent live comedy venues in the business rates support package announced yesterday. 

The state of live comedy will be the focus of the opening session of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee’s work aimed at spotlighting previously unheard issues and challenges.
