It’s safe to say that we’re all in need of a bit of levity this festive season. So, join us and four very special guests for an evening of comedy to welcome in the holidays!

With the lessons, challenges and uncertainty of 2020 behind us, come together with fellow publishing people at 6–7pm (GMT) on Thursday 10th December to connect, unwind and have a good laugh.

The event’s entertainment will come from comedians Mel Byron, Fiona Ridgewell, Kuan-Wen and Kathryn Mather. You’re sure to be regaled with stories, scenarios and situations that will have you chuckling on the other end of the video screen.

The event has been designed as a fun, informal and cosy event to help us bid goodbye to 2020, regroup, and look ahead to the exciting, creative and industry-shifting work we’ve got to do in 2021.
