Harvey Ingram lawyers sold out their one-off Leicester Comedy
Festival Show It's Beyond A Joke, within 10 days of tickets
becoming available.
The event takes place on 16 February, at the Comedy Festival's
headquarters at city centre venue the Belmont Hotel, in De Montfort
Street, Leicester. It tackles everything from laddish banter,
backfiring blogs, gossipy websites, the perils of parody, the risks
of social media and the day-to-day hazards of humour in jokey
emails.
Harvey Ingram partner, Leicester Comedy Festival trustee and
board member John Stobart, fronts the event with colleagues Roy
Botterill, Emma Anderson, Pina McAleer and Kimbra Welch.
He says: "We're all delighted with the enormous support and
enthusiasm for this event. Of course the pressure's really on
now - and we'll all have to deliver on the night! But we're
really looking forward to the evening - law and humour is a
volatile combination.
"It's a pleasure to support the Leicester Comedy Festival, as
well as be just a small part of a very big success story. We are
very proud to maintain our ethos in helping get behind and nurture
some of the country's best talent."
