We’re delighted to announce that for 2022 Halliwell Jones BMW will be the associate partner of the Southport Comedy Festival. Now in its 11th year this exciting event brings some of the best stand-up comedians from around the country. In addition to our associate partnership Halliwell Jones MINI and Premium Trade Cars Southport will also feature as regular sponsors.
"As a family run business we love the opportunity to get involved with events in the local community. The Southport Comedy Festival is a perfect example of this as the event brings together people from Southport and beyond. We’re delighted to be associate partner for this year’s festival and hope it is the beginning of a long, successful partnership” – Yvonne Watton, Head of Business at Halliwell Jones Southport.
Taking place from the 30th September - 16th October this year’s line-up will be jam-packed with a host of festival favourites and household names from the world of comedy. These include Ed Byrne, Reginald D Hunter, Al Murray and many more.
We recently caught up with Brendan Riley, one of the festivals directors to take a tour of the venue which will once again be held at Victoria Park. This multi-purpose event space which also hosts the annual Southport Flower Show is only a short distance from the town centre and promenade making it the perfect venue for such an event. This year’s festival will once again be held in a large marquee which offers a unique experience for those who attend.
During the event Halliwell Jones BMW and MINI will have the very latest models from the range on display. We invite anyone attending to visit us in our dedicated marquee next to the main event space.
Whilst with Brendan we also asked his thoughts on this exciting new partnership and took some all-important pictures to make things official.
"Southport Comedy Festival are delighted to partner with Halliwell Jones BMW as our main associate Sponsor for 2022. The support of all of our sponsors, large and small, is vital to keeping live events and the arts alive in our area." – Brendan Riley, Comedy Festival Director.
