Felt Nowt is a North East comedy co-operative, run by comedians. We put on shows, support performers and create projects that help people get involved in comedy.

We started in 2020 and have grown into venues, workshops, community projects and bigger ideas across the region, all built around the same basic aim: make more good comedy happen here.

WANT TO PERFORM?

We help new and developing comedians across the North East get on stage, build confidence and connect with the local comedy scene, with first gigs, courses, workshops and support to help you work out where to start.

You do not need to know exactly where to start.
