Operations Director James Penny said: “We are excited to bring this huge comedy event to Leeds. We know Leeds is a city of comedy fans and Temple Newsam is a perfect location for this event. With Comedy in the Park our aim is to bring live comedy back in a big way.  You will be guaranteed a night of side splitting laughter, with six of the world’s best comedians providing a night of entertainment in an open air theatre style setting. We will turn Temple Newsam into an incredible arena for the evening.

  Now more than ever, people need something to look forward to. It’s been a tough year for live comedy but it’s coming back with a bang! ”

The organisers will transform Temple Newsam for this carnival of comedy. Alongside the comedy, attendees can expect award-winning street food; pop up cocktail bars, cafés, bars, shops and stalls. The ultimate all day event out for any comedy lover!!

Promoters are confident that the event will be something to look forward to next year as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. However, because of the size of the location, plans can be adapted to run the event with social distancing should that be required and the event will be completely safe and COVID compliant.
