This morning, BBC Radio Leicester aired part of an interview they had with us, regarding the ongoing situation surrounding unpaid performers and venues connected to this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival.
Like many others across the region, we are still awaiting payment for events that took place as part of the festival programme. This has had a significant impact not only on venues, but also on artists, technicians, promoters, and small businesses who rely on timely payment for their work.
We did not take the decision to speak publicly lightly, but we feel it is important to highlight the seriousness of the situation and support others who are experiencing the same difficulties.
We remain proud to support live entertainment, independent performers, and community events, and we hope this matter can now be resolved fairly and transparently for everyone affected.
Thank you to BBC Radio Leicester for covering the story.
