🚨 Got 2 minutes to help save grassroots live comedy? (Yes, really!)

Hiya UK NextUppers! 

We recently got an email from the Live Comedy Association (LCA), and they need our help with something incredibly important.

Right now, grassroots live music gets a lot of love and official backing from the government, but grassroots live comedy doesn't get that same recognition as an essential part of the creative industries. The LCA is trying to change that so our industry can get the support, funding and respect it deserves.

This week, they went to Westminster to pitch this directly to MPs, but to really make a dent, they need volume. That’s where we come in.

It takes literally two minutes to help them out. Here is what we need to do:

• Step 1: Click this link to send a pre-written letter to your local MP.

• Step 2: The letter asks them to back the campaign and pressure the Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, to support live comedy.

• Step 3: Share the link with your comedy-loving friends and family.

The more noise we make, the harder we are to ignore. Let's show them how powerful the NextUp community is!

Thank you so much for backing live comedy. Let's get to writing! 📣

Need some collective brainpower here 😂 Does anyone remember an 80s/90s stand-up monologue ranting about the word "nice"? I’m convinced it’s Alexei Sayle because it was so loud and angry lol. Spent ages looking on YouTube and found zero. Help! 

Last chance to get a Lifetime Membership!

Hey gang! Just a reminder that today is the last day to get a Lifetime Membership for NextUp. If you're an ultimate comedy fan, this guarantees you access to us forever. Definitely worth it.

Been watching Taskmaster on YouTube recently, and it got me thinking who I'd love to be on it one day. So I started doing a deep dive and found out that Jack Whitehall, Alan Carr and Milton Jones have never been on it🫢Crazy! Who would you guys want to see feature??

Anyone else in the UK right now? 😅 Trying to watch Susie McCabe's special to distract me from the heat 🤣

Now that SNLUK has wrapped Season 1, who's excited for Season 2? And who were the standouts for you guys? Love all of the comedians, but Fouracres was the highlight of my Saturday nights 😂

Comedy night out, anyone?🤩

Hey gang! 

Hope you’re all having a brilliant evening! Remember last week when I told ya about the launch of the brand-new comedy radio station, ComedyUK? 📻

Well, to celebrate their launch, they're having an amazing live celebration roadshow next month!

It’s all kicking off at the legendary Leicester Square Theatre on Thursday, 18th June. The fantastic Thanyia Moore is hosting, and she’s joined by an incredible lineup including Jessica Fostekew, Alex Kealy, Ria Lina, and Roman Harris. It’s genuinely going to be an absolute blast of a night.

If you haven’t sorted your plans yet and fancy a brilliant night out full of proper belly laughs, you can still grab your tickets here:
