Ship of Fools is Leicester's independent comedy club based at The Looking Glass in Leicester's West End ! Since it began in April 2002, the club has provided a fortnightly mixture of top-quality headlining acts from the national circuit alongside emerging new talent from the East Midlands. Recent acts include Sarah Kendall, nominated for the Perrier Award at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, and most of our headliners are regular performers at The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, and other major venues.

As well as the regular club nights at The Looking Glass, we often put on shows at other venues, such as Phoenix Arts and the Summer Raspberry in De Montfort Hall's Festival Marquee. If you are interested in booking your very own comedy night night for your company, send an e-mail to shipoffoolscomedy@yahoo.co.uk for further details.

And if you are interested in doing stand-up comedy, we run a series of comedy workshops every year, beginning in March. 2004's Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year , Matt Hollins, came through our workshops in 2003. Again, contact
shipoffoolscomedy@yahoo.co.uk for further information.
