A woman in a sparkling blue gown with voluminous sleeves stands in front of a decorative backdrop featuring large golden palm leaves and vibrant purple and teal feathers. She has wavy, shoulder-length hair and dramatic eye makeup, looking upwards with a playful expression and open hands.
A man with dark hair and a beard smiles warmly at the camera. He wears a blue T-shirt under a grey, patterned jacket with a shearling collar, standing against a dark background.
A woman dressed as an eccentric character, wearing a beige coat with a leopard-print scarf, white-framed glasses, and short brown hair. She is excitedly holding a bunch of purple and white balloons while making a surprised expression.
A man with short, light brown hair and a beard is posing casually against a textured, metallic industrial background. He wears a dark navy jacket and scratches the back of his head with a slight smile.
A Black male comedian wearing a dark button-up shirt performs on stage, holding a microphone in one hand. His facial expression is animated, and he is standing in front of a backdrop with bright, round stage lights.
A man with short, curly dark hair and black-framed glasses wearing a buttoned-up, striped Western-style shirt with red, black, and grey colours. He has a slight smirk and is standing with his arms crossed against a white background.

Information

Courtyard Comedy Festival is a seated event which takes place outdoors in our Courtyard and will go ahead whatever the weather. We're Northern so we don't shy away from a bit of rain. We encourage you to come with jackets so we can all enjoy the show come rain or shine.
