Grant News

The #SaveLiveComedy Fund has re-opened for a short window of applications from professional individuals within the live comedy industry in the UK who are in financial need as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The hardship fund provides emergency grants of £500 for those most in need who have been without the majority of their work since March 2020, including comedians, promoters, producers, stage managers, technicians and off-stage creatives including directors, designers, and photographers.

It supports those in the industry who are self-employed, run organisations who have been ineligible for existing government support, or who are unemployed as a result of the pandemic.

The Fund is administered by NextUp Comedy Ltd in association with the Live Comedy Association.

The deadline for applications is the 12th July 2021.
