About us

Chortle was set up by journalist Steve Bennett in February 2000 with the aim of being the most comprehensive, critical and up-to-date guide to the all aspects of comedy in Britain. Today, the site is the premier source of comedy news, reviews and listings and attracts around 120,000 unique visitors every month.

Stand-up listings

Our priority is to keep up-to-date information on all the comedy gigs we know of. The site is constantly updated, and our aim  is to put any information supplied to us on the site within 48 hours, though this is not always possible at busy times.

However, do be aware that things do change, often and the last minute, and the line-up we list may differ from who actually appears. If in doubt, check before travelling.

To submit listings information,  email listings@chortle.co.uk

Comedians

Comedians' profile pages are added at Chortle's discretion, and we will rarely add a new page unless it is to accommodate a new review or it is for an established comedian we have previously overlooked.  Likewise, biographies are written by Chortle, though they are based on official information supplied by the act or their agent.

Advertising and syndication

For an advertising ratecard, or syndication rights, please emailsteve@chortle.co.uk

Tickets and products

We are associates of  various ticketing agencies and online retailers, including Ticketmaster, See Tickets, lastminute.com, Amazon.co.uk, Audioville, Ticketweb and Comedy Booking, which enables us to offer books, videos, CDs and tickets for sale. If you buy anything, you are buying from these companies, not from Chortle. So, should you have any queries about an order, please contact the relevant company.
