‘Big Laughs Belfast’ began life in 2008 as a loose collective of comedy performers and promoters who were frustrated by the lack of opportunities in Northern Ireland for new comedy talent to develop.

From the humble beginnings of an open mic night in the Pavilion Bar, Big Laughs Belfast now plays a leading role in providing a platform for a whole new generation of Northern Irish comics, as well as introducing Northern Ireland to innovative and original comedy from around the UK and Ireland.

In addition to promoting one-off special events, we run two regular stand-up comedy clubs in Belfast: the weekly Big Laughs at the Big House in the Ormeau Road’s Pavilion Bar, and the monthly Big Laughs at the Black Box. We also run Mixed Nuts, a monthly comedy variety night – also in the Black Box -  featuring stand-up, poetry, improv and music.
