Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival returns to city with star-studded line-up

Nine comedy events will take over The Kings Hall, Stoke, this November, bringing household names, award-winning performers and rising stars to the city.

A host of comedy stars will head to the city this autumn as the Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival returns.

The festival will bring nine comedy events to Stoke Town Hall between Friday 13 and Sunday 15 November featuring household names, award-winning performers and rising stars from across the UK comedy scene.

The line-up features some of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment including Adam Kay, the BAFTA-winning comedian and bestselling author of This Is Going to Hurt, and Clinton Baptiste, the hapless clairvoyant, medium and psychic from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights.

Also appearing are Hannah Byczkowski, winner of BBC's The Traitors, and Fatiha El-Ghorri, whose recent TV appearances include Taskmaster and Channel 4's The Great Pottery Throw Down.

They’ll be joined on the line up by:

• Comedy showcase in collaboration with Comedy Kiln
• Lou Conran - award winning comedian, writer and radio host
• Mick Miller - comedy legend who first came to fame on ITV’s New Faces
• Hannah East – viral comedy sensation whose comedy reels have amassed millions of views

The comedy festival is organised and directed by Me & Mrs Jones comedy. Co-owner Dave Twentyman also appear on the bill, supporting Clinton Baptiste fresh from a support slot with Jason Manford at The Regent Theatre.

Rachel Jones, from Me & Mrs Jones Comedy said:

“We are so pleased to be bringing top comedy talent to our hometown for the third consecutive year of the Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival.

“We have hand-picked comedians who we know our audiences will enjoy. Thanks to everyone who attends our events and supports live comedy.”

Why the Signal exists

Real news takes time. Thanks for taking yours.

You've just read a story that took time to get right. No clickbait, no racing to be first, no ads chasing you down the page.

I started The Staffordshire Signal because I got fed up of local news that chased clicks instead of stories. We're independent, not-for-profit, IMPRESS-regulated and owned right here, so we answer to nobody but you.

The honest bit: local news only survives if local people choose it. If we don't, it goes.
