Stand Up For Justice: Comedy at Belfast Festival
Saturday 25 October saw the 6th year of Amnesty’s legendary comedy event Stand Up For Justice, as part of Belfast Festival at Queen’s.
Despite the wind and rain, it went down a storm (!) as a 600 strong audience packed into the Whitla Hall for a great night of international stand-up comedy.
MC for the night was Scouse comic John Bishop, who worked the crowd brilliantly and kindly plugged Amnesty throughout the show. Comedy-wise, the audience was treated to performances from included Daniel Rigby, Katherine Ryan, Mike Wozniak, Andi Osho and Damian Clark.
Punters and the media reacted with delight as the event gained some great coverage in The Irish News, Belfast Telegraph preview, Belfast Telegraph review, and the Newsletter: "If you do one thing this weekend" and a very encouraging comment on our Flickr stream: “I was at last night's 'Stand Up', as I have been for last number of years - last night was best show yet, all acts were 'first class' - John Bishop was a great compere.”
