\n

A lot of venues in Manchester have had to close their doors during the pandemic but<\/span> o<\/span>ne Northern Quarter comedy club is continuing to host comedy in a safe way<\/span>.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The award-winning Frog and Bucket <\/a>is pushing to save live comedy during the pandemic and was asked by the governmnent to pilot shows as early as July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Club director Jessica Toomey<\/span> <\/span>said: \u201c<\/span>We voluntarily closed before the gov<\/span>ernmen<\/span>t forced us too<\/span>,<\/span> as we wanted to do what was best for the safety of staff, acts and customers<\/span>.”<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c<\/span>B<\/span>ut once we were fully <\/span>confident we could re-open safely I jumped at the chance when the Department of Culture, Media and Sport asked us to do the pilot comedy show in July<\/span>.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The customer feedback survey revealed that 100% of the audience felt very safe in our venue and we truly believe we are still one of the safest nights out there is. <\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I’d<\/span> like to think after 26 years we are a flagship venue and benchmark for the industry so wanted to install some confidence in the rest of the industry to start up again.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I<\/span>t<\/span> really helps that we are a cabaret seating style venue as it lends itself much better to current restrictions such as table service.<\/span>\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Although financially difficult, Jessica is glad the club has remained open as far as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlt<\/span>hough<\/span> we are barely breaking even being open, we believe we provide an essential public service providing comedy during such uncertain times, laughter truly is the best medicine and stress relief<\/span>.<\/span>\u201d<\/span> she said.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Inevitably, some shows have had to be <\/span>cancelled, <\/span>o<\/span>ne of which was popular Geordie comedian Carl Hutchinson,<\/span> who was due to appear at Frog and Bucket<\/span> with his appropriately named tour<\/a> <\/span>Carl Hutchinson <\/span>is allowed to play out again<\/span>!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Carl, 33,<\/span> <\/span>applaud<\/span>ed<\/span> <\/span>the efforts of <\/span>Manchester\u2019s comedy <\/span>clubs li<\/span>ke the Frog and Bucket<\/span> and the people who have bought tickets to his shows, <\/span>saying: \u201c<\/span>I\u2019ve never known a bunch of people to be so understanding about cancelled gigs, people have incredible.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s<\/span> been really hard<\/span>,<\/span> not just for comedians but all creators generally, but <\/span>I <\/span>have <\/span>s<\/span>een<\/span> people<\/span> powering through and had a lot of resilience, <\/span>from<\/span> putting stuff up online, doing stuff in back gardens<\/span> and<\/span> generally powering through, it\u2019s been a rough time for everyone.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Carl also<\/span> <\/span>said <\/span>that we<\/span>re <\/span>other ways people<\/span> <\/span>could <\/span>support their favourite venues and comedians.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
