A Lovely Weekend: Manchester’s New Comedy Festival FT Amy Gledhill, Olga Koch & more

An entire weekend of exciting new comedy shows coming to Fairfield Social Club this June.

A Lovely Weekend kicks off on Fri 7 Jun with a mixed bill show hosted by Amy Gledhill, the next two days are packed with TV names, social media sensations and exciting up-and-comers.

Over the course of three days and across two venues there’ll be new work-in-progress shows from stars of Live At The Apollo such as Olga Koch and Brennan Reece, Poppy Hillstead will be bringing her hit podcast to Manchester for the first time and there’ll be new work from Tom Lawrinson, Stevie Martin, Phil Ellis, Fatiha El-Ghorri and loads more.

Tickets for each show are just £6, but a weekend pass at just £45 gets you into every show (including Friday’s launch) and works out at around 50% off if you make it to every show.

So if you like your comedy by the bucket load and can’t afford the extortionate trip to the Edinburgh Fringe this year then you might be in for A Lovely Weekend.
