Joke Spot
The Joke Spot is an open access initiative in public spaces and community hubs. In this pop-up activity which tours Leicestershire during the festival, our host invites participants to get on stage and tell their own jokes into a microphone for their parents and passers-by to enjoy. This project encourages reading comprehension and teaches performance skills, it is a rare opportunity for parents to see their children on stage.
In 2025 we…
- visited 7 locations
- told over 1000 jokes
- worked with over 400 children
“It’s the most I’ve ever seen my son read!” – parent of participant
