Comedy festival in Peterborough offering chance to gift a night of laughs to a key worker

The Clever Monkey Comedy Festival is taking place at the East of England Arena between December 3-5 and features a range of popular comics such as Ed Byrne, Shaun Walsh, Chris McCausland and Jen Brister.

All sets will still be performed on stage at the arena as well as live streamed and Clever Monkey are now offering the public an opportunity to gift a night of comedy to members of the NHS and key workers.

They have teamed up with Big Thanks, an organisation dedicated to bringing communities together, to make this offer. People can donate a night of live streaming comedy to a key worker and their family for just £12.50, or even a 3 night pass if they are feeling very generous.

The festival team has made it simple and secure and by using the Big Thanks portal you can say thank you to either a nominated key worker or one from a random draw.

Clever Monkee founder, Hannah Isted, said: “Every day thousands of workers across the NHS go above and beyond to help others but during the pandemic their commitment has really come to the fore.

“We thought it would be incredible if there was a way we could all thank one of these selfless unsung heroes? We’ve stood outside and clapped, we’ve offered support and gratitude, and now here is a chance to give a key worker and their family an opportunity to have a night of amazing comedy, laughter and fun at the only stand up comedy festival in 2020 left standing,”
