Southport Market will be full of fun and laughter this Wednesday (25th February 2026) with TWO great value events taking place.
People can call in for the fortnightly Comedy Bingo Winter Social sponsored by Halliwell Jones Kia Southport during the day with tickets just £3 (including bingo books and a free drink).
Then, in the evening, visitors can join the hilarious Southport Comedy Pub Crawl sponsored by Sefton Council with five different comedians in four venues for just £5 each.
Tickets for either event can be booked in advance, or people are welcome to turn up and pay on the door.
Both events are hosted by local comedian Brendan Riley. He said:
“I can’t wait for a fantastic day of fun, bingo and live comedy at Southport Market this Wednesday!
“First up is our popular Comedy Bingo Winter Social sponsored by Halliwell Jones Kia, with doors opening at 1pm for a 1.30pm start.
“We always get a great crowd for comedy bingo gatherings. They’re inclusive and for everyone!
“Whether you’re 5 or 105, come and join us and see if your numbers come up!
“It’s a brilliant way of getting out of the house this winter and coming into a warm and welcoming environment for a real laugh.
“We have some fantastic prizes to be won too, kindly donated by a range of local businesses.
“Admission is just £3 each, which includes a free drink, and your bingo books too.
“Then, in the evening, from 7pm, come and join us for our third Comedy Pub Crawl!
“We used to run Comedy Pub Crawls before the pandemic and it’s fantastic to see them back, thanks to the Sefton Council Tourism team.
“People have missed them! We have had great crowds for the first two with around 80 people on each one, and we’re looking forward to seeing another great crowd for this one.
“We all meet from 6pm at Southport Market, which is the perfect venue for anyone who wants to grab something to eat before we start from the superb traders they have inside.
“After that you’ll join us on a mirthical mystery tour with five superb comedians in four different Southport town centre venues for just a fiver! It’s fantastic value!
“The pub crawls are a win-win – they’re a win for Big Comedy; a win for the venues when 80 people head in on a midweek night; and a win for Sefton Council, which is keen to help grow trade for local business in Southport this winter.
“Come and join us at either event – or both! Tell your friends!
“We’re bringing smiles and laughter to Southport this winter.”
The third of five monthly pub crawls is organised by Big Comedy UK and funded by Sefton Council, to showcase Southport’s rich and vibrant night-time economy.
The next Southport Comedy Pub Crawls will take place, each starting from Southport Market, on Wednesday nights on 25th February 2026, 25th March 2026 and 22nd April 2026, with more details and tickets available here: Home – Southport Market
