Autumn is upon us, but that only means that beer gardens are getting traded for more indoor activities - and with the glut of comedy taking place around Leeds this month, we are spoiled for choice.
Touring season is officially in full swing, and whether you’re ducking into a basement on Call Lane or settling into a velvet seat at the Grand, the city’s venues are completely stacked for the rest of September.
From household names and panel show regulars taking on our biggest stages, to cult podcast hosts, international festival winners, and weekend club stalwarts, there is barely a night off on the calendar between now and October.
