The purpose of this festival is to give emerging comedy artists a platform to grow, and perform to some friendly audiences in the heart of South London.

As we are a budding festival, we will not be asking for any registration or venue hire fees, and all acts will receive a 50% split of the box office taking for their show. There are a few additional costs to be aware of, which are explained on the web link shown above.
