Counting down to<br />
Lincoln comedy event<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
LINCOLN’S annual<br />
comedy festival is just<br />
weeks away.<br />
This is the fifth year of<br />
the Live in Lincoln event<br />
which will take place on<br />
October 17.<br />
Festival organiser David<br />
Parlane said it will mark a<br />
step forward for the event<br />
industry which has been<br />
extremely hard hit from<br />
Covid-19.<br />
“Not only just comedians<br />
but musicians, bands, quiz<br />
shows, you name it, they<br />
have all been affected,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The people behind the<br />
scenes who put up the<br />
stages, the lighting and the<br />
sound. We have a lot of<br />
talent in this country they<br />
just haven’t had any work.”<br />
Parlane said the show<br />
will be the fifrst job back in<br />
the year for the people who<br />
are setting up the stage.<br />
The festival will feature<br />
comedian Ben Hurley who<br />
is best known for his work<br />
on TV3’s topical comedy<br />
panel show 7 Days.<br />
Award-winning comic<br />
Alan McElroy, comedian<br />
magician Jarred Fell and<br />
musical duo Fan Brigade<br />
will also perform.<br />
Parlane said he is pleased<br />
to have some certainty for<br />
the show now that we have<br />
moved to alert level 1.<br />
“It is certainly nice to<br />
know that as of right now<br />
the show can go on. We’ve<br />
got really good performers<br />
this year.<br />
“Alan McElroy from<br />
Ireland, Ben Hurley who is<br />
one of New Zealand’s top<br />
comedians, Jared Fell who<br />
has been on NBC’s Bring<br />
The Funny and a couple<br />

members and is holding<br />
an information evening on<br />

The team trains once a<br />

respond where needed,<br />
he says, from search and<br />
rescue and fifrst aid, to<br />
whatever is required.<br />
comedy night<br />
of really talented female<br />
comedians.”<br />
He said they are looking<br />
forward to putting on a<br />
good show for the community.<br />
“We want to put something<br />
back into the community<br />
so everyone can<br />
get out there and laugh and<br />
enjoy themselves.<br />
“It’s about sorting the locals<br />
and also the event industry<br />
has been extremely<br />
hard hit from Covid-19.”<br />
