Leicester Comedy Fest Cancelled Amid Cash Woes
4 Jun
Summary
- A summer comedy festival in Leicester park was cancelled unexpectedly.
- The event, LCF In The Park, was scheduled for June 14.
- Organizers cited cashflow problems as the reason for cancellations.
A planned summer comedy festival, LCF In The Park, scheduled to be held at Abbey Park in Leicester on June 14, has been cancelled. Organisers informed ticket holders of the cancellation via email, citing unforeseen circumstances as the reason.
This event was an off-shoot of the established Leicester Comedy Festival. It was expected to host comedians such as Lou Sanders and Tom Rosenthal, adding to the city's vibrant arts scene.
The cancellation and financial issues stem from Big Difference, the non-profit organization behind both festivals. This organization admitted last month that significant cashflow problems had resulted in hundreds of performers not yet being paid for their appearances at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
