Award-winning firm ASM Chartered Accountants was today announced as the headline sponsor of the Belfast Comedy Festival – the biggest comedy arts festival in Ireland.
Celebrating its 5th anniversary, the Belfast Comedy Festival will take place during 28 September – 9 October with 70 events in a 12 day programme featuring over 150 performers in 20 venues across the city.
ASM Chartered Accountants has grown rapidly since its launch in 1995 and is now one of the largest accounting and management consultancy firms in Ireland, with offices in Belfast, Dublin, Dundalk, Dungannon, Magherafelt and Newry.
Speaking about the sponsorship, Adrian Patton, ASM Chartered Accountants said: “We are thrilled to be once again sponsoring the fantastic Belfast Comedy Festival.
“Year-on-year this event has become one of the most talked about and well executed events in the city – attracting locals and tourists to soak up the atmosphere, talent and offering of our whole city.
“ASM is a company that supports local innovation and talent and this show exudes both of those qualities tremendously.”
The festival will feature artists such as Jenny Éclair, Sam Simmons, Tom Slade, Lou Sanders, Sarah Kendall, the Horne Section, Kraken, Damian Clarke, Rob Auton, and Bec Hill who will appear in venues across the city over the 12 day event.
Held in a range of venues from the MAC, the Belfast Barge to the Mandela Hall, the programme features stand-up comedy, theatre, clowning, cabaret, workshops, talks, film, walking tours, club nights, and family events.
Leading local comic talent such as Tim McGarry, Maria Connolly, Mr Mess/Amadan, Paul Currie, Paddy McDonnell, Victoria Armstrong and Sean Hegarty will also feature in the packed programme which also includes the hit play Two Sore Legs performed in the Grand Opera House.
Festival Director, Peter O’Neill, welcomed the support of ASM for the biggest programme in the Festival’s history.
He added: “We are delighted to once again welcome ASM Chartered Accountants on board as our lead sponsor, without them and our other partners this event simply couldn’t take place on the scale that it does.
“We are very much looking forward to showcasing our exciting range of events which will get the city laughing later this month.
Peter concluded: “There’s something for everyone with great value events for all the family. We are into our fifth year and really welcome everyone of all ages to join in the fun.”
