Apply now

The Leicester Comedy Festival is seeking comedy fans to join its judging panel.

Applicants should be over 18, be able to demonstrate a love of live comedy, and able to be in Leicester for at least week during the festival, which runs from  February 6 to 24.

Festival founder Geoff Rowe, said: ‘The lucky members of the panel work really hard during the 19-day festival, often running from show to show to see as much as possible.  We hope we'll get a good range of applications from people keen to indulge their passion for comedy who will love to be part of the team spotting the cream of the great talent that will be on show next February.  

‘For comedy fans it’s like being in heaven – seeing hours of some of the best live comedy around.’ 

One of the past judges, David Blackett, said: ‘I can honestly say it's one of the best experiences I have gone through. Not only did I see more comedy than I could have dreamed; it gave me the chance to explore some wonderful parts of Leicester I hadn't visited and I made some truly fabulous friends.’

To apply, email jennifer@bigdifferencecompany.co.uk  by November 30.
