Why LaffaCake Events?

LaffaCake Comedy is an independent promoter of professional comedy events, operating across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire for the past four years.

We’re not an agency,  we hand-pick acts nationally based on your budget and availability, ensuring quality, variety, and great value every time. Our events can be arranged on either a Contribution/Ticketing or Final Fee basis.

Whichever framework you choose, you can be confident we’ll work with you to make the night a success; increased takings, driving repeat custom, and strengthening your venue’s local reputation for top-quality entertainment.

Artwork

We create branded Posters, Quality Flyers, Social Media, Tickets & Venue Graphics…

Marketing

We will promote your event both online & through local reputable outlets!

Why Midweek Comedy?

Our comedy nights are tailor-made for Wednesdays and Thursdays; the quieter midweek slots when venues are often looking for ways to boost footfall and create a lively atmosphere.

By hosting a LaffaCake Comedy event, you’re not just filling seats for one night;  you’re investing in a proven way to increase midweek revenue and brand loyalty. Venues regularly report a strong uplift in wet sales, improved customer retention, and a noticeable rise in repeat midweek trade.

Our shows attract a mix of regular locals and new faces, building consistent recognition for your venue as a go-to spot for great comedy and good times. Over time, that translates into a steady midweek buzz and stronger overall trading performance.

2 Flexible Packages

Both packages include comprehensive marketing support (social media promotion, artwork, and listings) and end-to-end event logistics, covering everything from performer liaison to on-the-night management.

This ensures a smooth, well-promoted show that draws a crowd and delivers a great experience for both your customers and your team.

Why Weekend Comedy?

Our weekend comedy events are designed to make Fridays and Saturdays even more profitable, giving your venue a standout entertainment option that keeps customers in longer and spending more.

LaffaCake Comedy weekends feature higher-profile acts, polished production, and a lively atmosphere that turns a busy night into a truly memorable one. Venues typically see a strong uplift in wet and food sales, as audiences stay longer and bring friends back for future shows.

By hosting a premium LaffaCake event, you’re positioning your venue as a destination for top-quality live comedy; the kind that drives weekend buzz, attracts new audiences, and enhances your overall brand reputation.

Small Venue Package

Our comedy nights are designed with smaller venues in mind; perfect for spaces under 40 capacity where a larger contribution may not be feasible. We understand the challenge of putting on a night that’s fun for your customers while still making sense for your bottom line, and this package is built to help you do exactly that.

Smaller venues bring a unique intimacy to comedy, creating a club-like atmosphere where audiences feel closer to the performers and every laugh lands. Hosting a LaffaCake Comedy night in your space is not just about filling seats, it’s about giving your customers a memorable experience that keeps them coming back. Even with a smaller audience, venues typically see a noticeable uplift in wet sales, stronger connections with regulars, and the chance to attract new faces who become loyal patrons.

Generous Discounts, Free Marketing…

We make it easy to get started with a very low contribution and low ticket prices from £6, designed to get bums on seats. Our Discounted Small Venues Package also includes free marketing support, with 500 flyers provided to help promote the event locally. Plus, if you book two consecutive nights, you benefit from a special discount, making it even easier to maximise your midweek trade.

We work closely with you to tailor the night to your venue, including performer selection, timing, and promotion. The result is a show that fits your space, delights your audience, and drives revenue; all with minimal risk and hassle. By putting on a LaffaCake night, even the coziest venue can become the heartbeat of midweek entertainment in your local area.
