✨ATTENTION ✨
It’s not often we do a big post, but we thought it’s best to keep yous updated.
▪️What’s up Giggle Water?
So you might have noticed that Giggle Water is continuing to expand/grow? Maybe you’ve been with us since the beginning (appreciate you) or you’re a recent fan (welcome 💜) - either way, it’s been our goal to continue bringing you some of the best comedy nights in Newcastle.
Heck, we’re now at the point where our biggest night is happening on the 8th September, it’s going to be our biggest use of venue space, and yet, it still comes with challenges as a small business.
A mix of cost of living and lack of funding has seen us working hard constantly to bring the events that you’ve enjoyed so much previously. This is where we’re being totally honest.
If you like, love, enjoy or even just ‘think’ about going out to a stand-up comedy night, nothing would make us happier. In a time where we’re seeing costs soar, our goal at Giggle Water is to keep putting on the comedy nights at an affordable price, but this does undoubtedly come with great challenges on our side.
Everyone deserves good quality entertainment and we can only achieve that with your support 💯
▪️Have you thought about funding?
Of course! Unfortunately, even this comes with challenges. You’d be surprised to hear how often live comedy gets swept under the rug.
Even a comedy club based in Manchester was denied funding during lockdown because they were deemed ‘not culturally significant’ - the cheek!
▪️So what can be done?
Spread the word, and this post. Tell your friends, your family, your neighbours, your colleagues to support live comedy.
Even if you’ve never given a comedy night a second thought, why not! We can guarantee some of the best nights out come from comedy (yes we are biased).
The more folk know, the more we can keep the industry alive, meaning the more we can continue expanding, supporting comedians who deserve to be seen and bringing even more events than just monthly comedy nights 👀
We could even be bringing food to our events in the future 🍕
If you’d like to support us as a small business and events provider, we’d deeply appreciate it to see you guys at the upcoming event on Friday 8th September 2023, you can find the link to tickets here 🎟️ - https://skiddle.com/e/36398256
