WeAre8, the people’s social platform built for good, is starting the new year with a big laugh by launching Comedy Fest, a new initiative giving emerging comedians the chance to be discovered on a global stage and perform live at Big Belly Comedy Club.
All ticket proceeds from the live final will go directly to support Mental Health UK, using laughter as a force for connection and positive change. Mental Health UK is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us in fundraising for Mental Health UK and be a catalyst for change in the fight for mental wellness. Every donation, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to a world where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. Let's turn awareness into action and create a brighter future for all.
Created to elevate the next generation of comedy talent, Comedy Fest will bring together some of the most exciting new voices from across the UK. The judges are Josh Berry, Sikisa, Russell Hicks and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
“Comedy Fest is about joy, discovery and giving brilliant new voices the stage they deserve,” said comedian, actor and writer, Sanjeev Bhaskar OBE. “Alongside WeAre8, I’m proud to bring people together through laughter and to support mental health at a time when connection matters most.”
