Scilly Laughs is the brainchild of Jo Jepson-Davies and Julie Jepson. Julie is a regular visitor on Scilly and is keen to bring more entertainment opportunities to the islands. Originally planned as a gig on every island, it was considered slightly too ambitious…where to play on Samson?! So a more modest four date festival was planned. Starting in Penzance, Cornwall with a show each on St Mary’s,
Tresco and St Martin’s in June 2015. The festival was a great success in 2015 and a second festival was planned for 2016 adding St Agnes as an additional island, making it the most south westernly comedy festival in the country. With sell out shows, the festival is going from strength to strength with this latest trip being our 6th Scilly Laughs! MONDAY 25th Oct - The Slip Inn, The Mermaid, St Mary's
TUESDAY 26th Oct Adam's Fish and Chips, St
The festival is a celebration of comedy. We aim to bring a show of the highest quality to the Scilly Isles for residents and visitors to enjoy. We would love to become an established part of the calendar of events on Scilly in June every year. The festival will feature Julie Jepson as the host and will introduce three top quality comedians from the UK comedy circuit. This year we have Craig Deeley and Suzy Bennett. The show will raise funds for Island Haven through it’s raffle at each show.
