Access information

Comedy comes in many forms and The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival has always tried to reflect that in the events programmed and the people who are involved in creating each festival.

Event listings now feature an access key – this can be found on the bottom left hand corner of the listing.

We have a range of show for all ages across the festivals. Many shows will have an age guidance on their listings, which can be found in the bottom left hand corner of the event listing.

As part of making The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival & Leicester Comedy Festival accessible for all, we have provided accredited Safer Spaces training courses for festival venues & promoters, consisting of courses in ‘Understanding & Responding to Sexual Harassment and Assault’ (presented by Good Night Out), ‘Disability, Equality & Customer Service’ (presented by Attitude Is Everything) and ‘Bystander Awareness’ (presented by Get Off Live Comedy). This training was important for us to implement to ensure we are taking steps to create a safe and welcoming environment for all festival goers.

For a list of access provisions at our venues, you can download our 2024 access guide here. The guide is in the process of being updated for venues joining the festival in 2025.
