Leicester Comedy Festival

Shameless plug alert. Alex Horne is up for a Chortle Award and we'd like everyone to vote for him and he's written a little song to try and convince you. http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2014/02/25/19673/chortle_award_nominees_2014

Stuart Goldsmith brings you his excellent podcast series The Comedian's Comedian live from Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival. Stuart brings you an in depth discussion with 'Uncle' star Nick Helm, the one man mega myth.

Alexei Sayle delivers the first ever 'I Say' talk about the state of comedy in the UK and he doesn't mince his words.

David Morgan hosts this years Comedy Blind Date, where one lucky lady has the pick of three willing comedians.

Hosted by Lee Nelson, Dave presents the first UK Pun Championships where 8 comedians battle it out to become King of the Puns.

As Leicester Comedy Festival celebrates its 21st birthday, BBC Radio Leicester’s Becca Bryers explores its history, reputation and ability to make us laugh – with Leicester’s Funny Side.
