Sunday 10th of August, sees the next Manchester Laughing Calves night with an impressive bill of the finest new female stand-up talent.
This new acts night is a monthly all-female comedian event held the second Sunday of the month (put it in your diaries!) at the Frog and Bucket on Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter; a regular comedy venue in the heart of the city.
Laughing Cows Comedy has been showcasing and helping to develop women in comedy for 10 years now. Hazel O’Keefe and various comedy partners have run nights around the UK. The idea is built on O'Keefe's original experience running an all-woman night in London where Laughing Cows ran full to capacity for two and a half years. Following a personal move to the North West, November 2004 saw the spectacular opening of Manchester's first all-female line up of comedy. The opening night attracted over 200 people. This popularity has continued over the years and the show is currently held in Manchester’s acclaimed Frog and Bucket comedy venue.
With shows at the Leicester Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, monthly shows in Birmingham, Manchester and London and Laughing Calves nights to encourage new talent, Laughing Cows Comedy is growing in force. It’s not hard to understand when you see the fantastic line-ups, encompassing award winning and television comics such as Gina Yashere and Jo Caulfield, as well as many up and coming comedians. Every show is designed to get the audience laughing from start to finish, by showcasing the best of female comedy, in a friendly and enthused atmosphere.
So if you want to come along and support, or even find out more information about other such ventures, then get down to one of the shows.
