Get your fix of funny femmes at the Red Tent tomorrow

Righty then - "what have we got coming up comedy-wise this week?", I hear you all asking (when will these voices in my head stop???). 

Well, if you're a fan of women as well as stand-up comedy, you're in for a real treat tomorrow, because it's another all-female line-up from Laughing Cows at The Red Tent on Pocklington's Walk. Laughing Cows was set up in 1998 to showcase the finest funny ladies in the country and has been running shows across the country that redress the hormonal imbalance in what is still a heavily male-dominated profession.

Performing tomorrow are Jen Brister, described by Chortle as "a confident and forthright performer" and by Time Out as "Gorgeously Talented", as well as "the self-styled thinking pensioner’s crumpet" VG Lee and regular Laughing Cows MC Maureen Younger.

Tickets are £8 and are available from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/195176. More information about Laughing Cows can be found at http://www.laughingcowscomedy.co.uk/

Also on this week is the next installment of Nibbles with Giggles on Wednesday at Entropy on Hinckley Road. £12 gets you a delicious gourmet pie, dessert and a fabulous line-up of talented local comics and even a bit of live music. And as if you needed any more encouragement, a healthy dollop of proceeds from the night goes to charity too! More details here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/489042107780734/?fref=ts

UFI host another night of improvised comedy on Friday as part of their World Tour of Leicester, this time bringing their quick wits to Curve. Find out more at the end of this link: https://www.facebook.com/events/465226590184584/

And of course, don't forget Just the Tonic are hosting regular Christmas shows featuring some of the best comics on the national circuit. They're starting to sell out though, so now's the time to leap into action and find out if there's any tickets left at http://www.justthetonic.com/leicester-comedy/

That should do you 'til the end of the week, right?

There, that should keep you off the crack for a while. As usual, if you know of anything else that might have slipped my gaze, drop me a line on leicestercomedyfestival@gmail.com, on the Leicester Comedy Scene Facebook page or on Twitter @leiccomedyscene, and I'll duly add it to the list.
It's good to be back :)

Comedy, music and pie at Entropy, and it's all for charity.

Do you like Pie? Well DO YOU???
Of course you do.

If you like pie and you also like laughing (which I assume you do if you're reading a blog about comedy) then I suggest you trot on over to Entropy, Hinckley Road on Wednesday 25th April for 'Nibbles with Giggles', the ultimate union of Pie'n'Mirth.

For a very reasonable £12, you will be treated not only to a choice of deleeeeeecious pies and a dessert, but also music from Benn Hartmann and live stand-up from some of the region's finest young comedians, including headliner David Anthony Wood, Kevin Mahon, Sam Chaplin and Ricky Lout. Compere for the evening is Chortle Student Comedy Semi-Finalist Jack Campbell, and proceeds from the evening will go to Parkinson's UK.
