About the Event

The Empire Comedy Club returns with a top line-up and big laughs at Blackburn Empire Theatre!

Your host and MC Colin Manford is one of the North West’s strongest compères – warm, quick and fearless with the room, with writing credits including 8 Out of 10 Cats and Walk on the Wild Side.

On the bill: Rachel Creeger, a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, director and broadcaster, and resident MC at London’s Comedy Upstairs at the Adam & Eve. She also co-hosts the podcast Jew Talkin’ To Me? and the Neighbours superfan podcast Leaving Erinsborough.

Also appearing is Jack Kelly – a Manchester-based stand-up originally from Blackpool, described as “a sensational stand-up”. Heard on BBC Radio 2, Jack’s packed with sharp wit and brilliantly observed storytelling.

Headlining the night is Daliso Chaponda, the Malawian-born comedian who shot to international attention as a Britain’s Got Talent 2017 finalist (including Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer) and went on to finish third. Expect smart, insightful stand-up with huge laughs – shaped by global touring and razor-sharp observation.

Tickets are still just £7.50 – and if you’re coming to all three Comedy Club nights this year, you can get the 3-show bundle for £19.95: add tickets for each show to the same basket to unlock your season pass to laughs.
