Komedia voted Best Venue in Wales and the West at the 2013 Chortle Awards
Last night we were crowned Best Venue in Wales and the West for a third time at the 2013 Chortle Awards. These industry awards are voted for by the comedy concious public so a HUGE thank you to all of our loyal customers who voted for us. So far 2013 is shaping up to be a great year for Komedia Bath!
Komedia wins at the Bath Life Awards 2013
Earlier this month we were delighted to receive a the Arts award at the Bath Life Awards. Beating off competition from The Ustinov Studio and Nick Cudworth Gallery, this prestigious accolade goes to show what an important offering we bring to Bath’s vibrant arts scene.
Whilst Bath has an abundance of annual festivals offering everything from classical music and film to comedy and literature, Komedia Bath is able to offer the experience of high quality performances all year round in one of the City’s most stunning venues. Bath’s overwhelmingly cultural audiences have so much to choose from and in the four years since we opened, Komedia has become a firm favourite selling nearly 50,000 tickets every year to audiences predominantly from Bath and the surrounding area; Komedia is a truly local venue with the ability to bring the best national and international acts to our city.
Huge thanks to Bath Life for hosting such a wonderful evening and to the judges for giving us this award.
Komedia wins ‘Best Venue in the West & Wales’ Chortle Award 2012
Bath’s premier live comedy venue wins a gong at the 2012 Chortle Awards
Komedia Bath has received nationwide acclaim after winning the ‘Best Live Venue – Wales and the West’ award at the recent 2012 Chortle Comedy Awards.
Komedia Bath was recently recognised as the ‘Best Live Venue – Wales and the West’ at the annual Chortle Comedy Awards. This is the second time that Komedia Bath has won the regional prize, having also picked up the award back in 2010.
Komedia Bath Chortles all the way to win!
In autumn 2010 Komedia Bath won the Chortle Award for Best Comedy Venue in the West & Wales 2010. At a star-studded awards ceremony in London – hosted by comedy genius Mark Watson – Komedia walked away with the coveted award, beating many well-established venues across the West for the title.
“We have had a fantastic first 16 months – acts already love playing the venue and people have told us we have made their lives better by opening in Bath. This is the main and only industry venue award out there, and coupling this with our Brighton venue winning the Chortle Award for Best Comedy Venue in the South for a record seven times… well, we couldn’t be happier!”
– Richard Daws, Director and Komedia co-owner
Although big touring music acts, such as The Levellers and Seth Lakeman, and top comedians such as Russell Howard, John Bishop, Reginald D Hunter have all taken to the stage – the Bath venue is chiefly famed for its weekly stand-up comedy in the Krater Comedy Club. Having been described as bringing about ‘a brand new dawn for entertainment in Bath’ by VENUE, Komedia gives customers the option to wine and dine prior to, and during, the weekend comedy club – Komedia has the perfect food partner for the South West with Hugh Fernley Whittingstall’s River Cottage Canteen in house – as well as hosting Motorcity; a civilised and popular club straight after the show, which is free to Krater Comedy Club ticket holders. All this and more in the impressive and lovingly restored grade one listed venue!
Komedia Bath is the first Komedia-branded venue launched outside of Brighton, Sussex. Presenting a large and diverse arts and entertainment programme, the venue features international and national music, comedy, cabaret and unique film and dining events whilst also playing host every Saturday (and selected Fridays) to the all-conquering sell-out night Krater Comedy Club.
The Chortle Awards were set up in 2002 by the comedy website Chortle to honour the best of established stand-up comics currently working in the UK. As of 2002, the Chortle Awards are the only UK based awards that solely honour the live work of stand-up comedians at a professional level. The judging is done through a panel of judges and the votes of regular visitors at the Chortle website
