Southport Comedy Festival 2023. Guests at the Comedy Bingo night raising money for the Community Link Foundation

In a gesture of thanks, emergency service workers are being offered 60 free tickets to the opening night of the 2024 Southport Comedy Festival.

The Southport Comedy Festival kicks off with a Comedy Bingo night on Friday, 27 September, at Victoria Park in Southport.

The event is sponsored by Anthony James Estate Agents and takes place in the heated and seated Festival Marquee. 

It promises to be a fun night out, while also raising funds for local charity the Community Link Foundation. 

Director Mark Cunningham said: “The Community Link Foundation is a superb local charity which we have supported ever since its inception 10 years ago. 

“We have always done all we can to support our local community through a range of fundraising initiatives. 

“We are extremely proud of everyone who serves in our emergency services. They do an exceptional job to keep us all safe, and to save lives, in often the most traumatic of circumstances. 

“This year, with the terrible tragedy in Southport in July and the rioting that followed, they have performed in ways which have earned the thanks and admiration of us all. 

“We have contacted Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire and Rescue and the North West Ambulance Service to offer 60 free places to emergency services workers, and we would love to see them come and join us for a fantastic night out.” 

If you’re in the emergency services and are interested in free tickets please contact: https://southportcomedyfestival.com/contact-us

General tickets are still available for the Comedy Bingo Night on 27 September.

Comedy Bingo is a highly interactive show hosted by comedian Brendan Riley.

This event has been a sell-out in both 2022 and 2023.

Doors open from 7pm with eyes down for the bingo at 8pm, for a fabulous night of fun(draising).

The Community Link Foundation is a local charity with a difference; which assists anyone in Southport and the surrounding areas who need financial support in a variety of ways.

It celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year, having raised over a quarter of a million pounds for good causes and charities locally.

Southport Comedy Festival Director Brendan Riley said: “We couldn’t think of a better way to launch our 2024 Southport Comedy Festival!

“The Comedy Bingo night is once again kindly sponsored by Mark and Lyn Cunningham from Anthony James Estate Agents, who do so much to support our local community.

“Comedy Bingo is always a really fun night out for friends, families, couples, people on work nights out, anyone!

“At just £10 per ticket it’s a great value night out too, and we’ll once again be raising money for the Community Link Foundation charity.

“Plus you can win some excellent prizes on the night!”

The Comedy Bingo adds to a star-studded line up of comedians for the 2024 Southport Comedy Festival sponsored by Halliwell Jones MINI.

The event takes place from Friday, 27 September 2024 to Sunday, 13 October 2024.

The full programme of events are now up on the Southport Comedy Festival website.
