Tickets are now on sale for the next Taste Cumbria Comedy Night in Cockermouth.
The event is part of the Taste Cumbria Christmas festival which takes place in the heart of the town on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December. The Comedy Night will be held at Cockermouth Cricket Club on Gote Road from 7pm on the Saturday night. Tickets cost £18 per person.
A great line-up of comics will be taking to the stage. MC Mark Olver is regularly found warming up the audience on a host of your fave TV shows. He’s an award-winning star who once dislocated his knee and broke his ankle on stage, yet carried on performing while lying on the floor until the paramedics arrived to take him away!
He’s joined by Dan Tiernan, who’s been named British Comedian of the Year, and has won the BBC New Comedy Award, and Kendal comic Percy Savage who reached the semi-finals of So You Think You're Funny in 2021 doing his first ever gig and is now a regular at the likes of Manfords and LOL Comedy Clubs.
Matt Bragg will close the evening, fresh from supporting Ricky Gervais on tour. Ricky himself says Matt performs ‘classic observational stand up, delivered with effortless style.’
The Taste Cumbria events are organised by Cumberland Council.
Ellie Jones, Cumberland Council’s Specialist Events Officer, said:
“Taste Cumbria Christmas in Cockermouth is our final food and drink festival of the year and we are ready to close 2024 with all the sparkle and excitement that you’ve come to expect from these great events.
“There will be loads of producers’ stalls and expert demonstrations on Main Street and Market Place, and we are going all out on the festive theme, with a visit from Santa Claus, some seasonal street theatre and even a snow globe, alongside some excellent live music.
“The Taste Cumbria food festivals are free to attend though we always like to include some extra ticketed events too. Our Michelin-starred Supper Club with The Cottage in the Wood and Low Hal the Lakes has already sold out, and tickets for our Taste Cumbria Comedy Nights always go fast so please book now!”
