Last month, the LCA helped Private Eye with some of their reporting on the Leicester Comedy Festival. We thought our members (at least those who aren't Eye subscribers) might like to see the whole piece, so here it is.
👉 Our LCF Hardship Fund: livecomedyassociation.co.uk/…
If you can donate, please do. If you can't, sharing this with someone who might is just as valuable: a comedy fan, a venue, a company that loves live comedy.
Donate and share: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lcfsuppo…
Applications for our LCF Hardship Fund close on Monday.
If you’re a comedian left out of pocket by Big Difference Company’s non-payments, this fund is for you.
Applying takes minutes and won’t affect your right to pursue what you’re still owed.
👉 livecomedyassociation.co.uk/…
The fund is paid for entirely by donations from the public, and the fundraiser is still open: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lcfsuppo…
