Networking events
BCG Pro runs social and networking events around the country, exclusively for our members. Some are simple drinks, others involve taking in a keynote talk on a topic of interest before relaxing with other comedy creatives to mull over what you've just learned.
Below is details on the cities we're planning to visit over the next twelve months, as well as some other locations we will happily organise an event in, if there proves to be enough interest.

Coming soon
Edinburgh 5th & 19th August 2024, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
We will be holding two meet-ups at the Edinburgh Festival this August, on Monday 5th and Monday 19th. A chance to meet other performers at the festival and share tips/advice/contacts.
Manchester September 2024
We look set to return to Manchester again in September.
London Wednesday 4th September, 7pm-9pm
We hold a meet-up in London on the first Wednesday of every month (apart from August and January). Thus our next will be 4th September.
Potential ideas
Bath
We held a meet-up at the 2024 Bath Comedy Festival. It looked like the appetite was there to do one again in April 2025...
Birmingham
We held a meet-up in Birmingham in November 2023. Do please register your interest for us to hold another in this city.
Brighton
We will be returning to Brighton in May 2025 for a meet-up linked to the city's fringe festival.
Bristol
We had a meet-up in this city in November 2022, but we are happy to return if people are up for it again?
Cambridge
A city with lots of comedy history. Care to join us here?
Canterbury
Interested in a Kent meet-up? Let us know by pressing the button.
Cardiff
We hope to be back in the Welsh capital at some point soon, so let us know if you're up for meeting in this area.
Chelmsford
How about some networking in Essex?
Exeter
Press the button if you're in the West Country and would be up for meeting in Exeter.
Glasgow
We met in Glasgow in May 2025 for the BBC Comedy Festival. Help us work out if there is enough demand to return again sometime.
Guildford
Hello Surrey creatives... up for meeting in Guildford?
Ipswich
We must admit we've never been to Ipswich. Is there enough interest in a meet-up for us to come?
Leeds
The new home of Channel 4... could be a good place to gather?
Leicester
We tend to hold a meet-up at the Leicester Comedy Festival each February. Up for it in 2025?
Liverpool
We visited Liverpool in May 2024. Let us know if you're up for us returning.
Newcastle
It was lovely to see people in Newcastle in early 2022. Shall we come back?
Norwich
Norfolk is one of the only counties to have managed to spawn its own BBC sketch show aimed at new talent. Let's meet up there?
Oxford
A lovely city to visit. Let us know you can be there.
Portsmouth
For Hampshire, it is probably going to be Portsmouth or Southampton...
Reading
How about a comedy chat after we have taken pictures of the Reading Reading Library sign?
Southampton
Hampshire folk, pick this one if you would like us to meet in the West, rather than in Portsmouth.
If we didn't mention a city near you, do contact us and we will add it to the list of potential options.
