Today we join with the Live Comedy Association to show our support for the #SaveLiveComedy campaign. It is well understood that the UK government’s recently announced arts bailout fund will not be enough to support the full arts sector in the UK, and it is likely that comedy will be one of the first to lose out.
Latitude is proud to celebrate our comedians as festival headliners and we see comedy as a powerful art form that makes space for truth, protest and entertainment alongside music, theatre and dance.
We urge the government to treat comedy like any other art form, and allow the sector to access emergency arts funding. You can show your support by sharing your most memorable live Comedy experience using #SaveLiveComedy. đźŽđź’–
