Creatures Comedy Festival is Manchester’s first festival with a focus on creating a space outside of London for acts to preview before the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, giving Manchester residents access to shows before they hit the world’s biggest arts festival in August.
The festival, from 19-28 July, will kick off the summer, showcasing over 30 solo shows from acts including Susie McCabe, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Larry Dean, Sashi Perera and Chloe Petts.
