DLCF PREVIEW: PART ONE - We Could Be Heroes (at the Criterion)
Here we go again comedy fans - Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival is once again fast approaching, and so begins Leicester Comedy Scene's annual series of preview posts giving you the lowdown on what's in store at the 2016 festival. This year, each preview post will be centred around a venue or series of venues, in order to give you a broad flavour of what's going on where this year. Since a lot of press coverage focuses on the big TV acts appearing at De Montfort Hall or Curve, I thought I'd start by exploring a small and friendly corner of the festival, with a distinctly alternative flavour...

5 Mixed bill showcase events that will help you decide what to see at the Comedy Festival
Face it, folks. The holiday period is over.
The leftovers have been guzzled, the hangovers suffered, the previously fart-filled house has been aired, and a nation is wearily going back to work and grudgingly re-adjusting to normal life.
It's not all doom and gloom though, because it means there's now less than a month to go until Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival starts - HOORAY!!! The fest proper begins on Wednesday Feb 3rd at which point over 700 shows will be occurring in the city and county, for 19 solid days of laughter. You can find official festival brochures all over the city, and all the shows are searchable online at the festival's website
Obviously it's pretty tough choosing from 700 shows, but luckily for us there are a few mixed-bill showcase gigs happening before then, to help you decide who to see at the festival:
