The Comedy Crate was formed in the hazy summer of 2016. Three friends, Conor, Mike and KJ, who are all obsessed with watching live comedy, decided that Northampton needed a new comedy night, and resolved to run the best night that they could for the benefit of their town.
We set about looking at venues, comedians, and all the little things that go into putting on a great comedy night, and decided on The Lab as the home for our first venture. The first ever Comedy Crate night was in November 2016 and was headlined by the hilarious Olaf Falafel in front of a packed house.
Since then we have been running live comedy events all around Northampton, working with loads of great venues and comedians. Conor left us in 2018 for a great opportunity within the comedy industry.
We have now racked up over 156 live events, including festivals, tour shows, virtual shows and have no intention of slowing down.
Whether you are looking at buying tickets, performing at one of our nights or a prospective venue, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us through this website or at hello@thecomedycrate.com
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been involved with us up until now. Whether you have worked at the venues, helped to promote the event, entertained our audiences or, most importantly, bought a ticket and joined us for a laugh, we are very grateful.
Keep supporting live comedy!
Thank you,
Mike and KJ
