Factory Laughs | June 2023

Little Wander and Tobacco Factory Theatres have teamed up to bring you some monthly mirth with our new stand-up comedy night, Factory Laughs.

Tobacco Factory Theatres is now famous for churning out the gags, with no fewer than 21 sell-out comedy gigs in 2022 alone. 2023 promises a conveyor belt of comedians like you’ve never seen before as Factory Laughs puts three fresh, fabulous and funny comics on the stage each month in one brilliant bill. 

With a special pre-show drinks offer at the bar thrown in to help lubricate the laughter, this June we are delighted to welcome the following bunch:
