As well as classic stand-up, there are comedy pub crawls, squeaky clean variety shows, comedy sketch shows and the annual Southport New Comedian Of The Year.

This year there will also be a full-scale Children’s Comedy Festival with loads of free events and shows on offer for all ages.

Southport Comedy Festival will also be raising money for five North West charities.

A festival spokesman said: “The Southport Comedy Festival is about bringing comedy to the people, using local venues and working with local businesses.
