Helpful information on hotels & other bookable accommodation in Leicester during the festival dates, their prices and their distance from the Festival Hub which is situated in Jubilee Square.

Leicester Comedy Festival & The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival take place in over 60 venues across the city and county, so we advise that you check the location of individual venues before planning your travel – you can find venue details here.

Each year, we celebrate all the hard work that shows, venues, promoters and many other brilliant people do to make Leicester Comedy Festival and The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival happen with an awards ceremony.

Comedy comes in many forms and Leicester Comedy Festival has always tried to reflect that in the events programmed and the people who are involved in creating each festival. This approach has existed since the event began in 1994 and has resulted in numerous projects and partnerships with organisations across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

The Festival Hub will be running its Half Price at The Hub offer again in 2026, where tickets to participating shows will be half price when purchased in person at the Festival Hub on the day of performance.
