Wow, we cannot thank you enough for supporting what was a hugely successful event. Over 700 of you walked through the doors to witness the first ever Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival, to enjoy the wonderful line-up of comedians who graced our stage. It’s thanks to your support that there will definitely be a Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival 2025!!

A big thank you to the wonderful staff at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, with a special mention for Melanie who believed in this idea from the very start. A shout out also to Edward who stepped into the role of lighting and sound technician, and did an absolutely wonderful job.

Stoke City Council deserve praise for really getting behind the festival with the press releases and the amazing advertising across the city which helped massively with raising the awareness of the festival.

Me and Mrs Jones had an idea, but without all the wonderful people mentioned above, it just stays as an idea. Making these events a success involves lots of working parts coming together, with a shared passion and love for this city. Next year will be even bigger, and better. Once again, thank you to you wonderful Stokies and the people who travelled from far and wide to support this inaugural event. We are extremely grateful.
