Donate to help secure British Comedy Guide's future and support comedy across the UK.
We're deeply passionate about comedy, but are just a small team. British Comedy Guide was founded by Mark Boosey and Aaron Brown - two normal fans just like you with no connection to the stage or the screen.
More than 20 years later, Mark and Aaron still run everything, albeit now with the help of a small but similarly dedicated team of freelance and volunteer contributors. We don't receive any grants, nor are we part of a big media company. That's why we're asking for your help.
In order to ensure we reflect, report on and celebrate all styles and types of comedy, speaking to audiences like you without fear or favour, we want to remain independent. We are resolute in our aims to champion comedy in all its forms: past, present, and fostering the future.
British Comedy Guide exists to celebrate comedy in the UK and every penny we receive goes directly to those ends.
Donations help cover the costs not only of keeping our website online but creating the content you love, whether that's the meticulous curation of news and videos, our acclaimed feature articles, interviews, quizzes, or running the discussion forums.
If you can give just a small amount, either as a one-off or on a recurring basis, you'll be backing British comedy from the grass roots up.
Donating and becoming a member of the Supporters' programme is quick and easy. As little as £5 goes a long way, but we're grateful for any change you can spare.
As a small token of thanks, every Supporter gets access to 50% more questions in our popular weekly quiz, can subscribe to our exclusive Daily Email service, and apply for a lapel pin badge. We know you love comedy and this is the best way to stay up to date with news, gossip, interviews, and what's on TV and radio; in your inbox at noon, seven days a week.
Supporters also receive a special monthly newsletter and the opportunity to influence what British Comedy Guide does, with direct feed back to Mark and Aaron and preview access to new features from time to time.
We're honoured that you share our vision and love of comedy in Britain. How often can you help out?
Recurring donations can be cancelled at any time. Donations can be made by PayPal, credit or debit card.The perks of being a Supporter are the ability to opt in to the BCG Daily Email service, subscribe to our monthly Supporters' newsletter, and access five bonus questions in our weekly quiz. BCG Supporters also have a Supporter icon added to their fan page and forum posts.
BCG Supporters can utilise all the perks for as long as they have an active, recurring donation plan. Alternatively, for those opting to make a one-off donation, we grant one month's access to these perks per £1 donated (up to a maximum of one year).
Once you have donated £10 or more (through any mix of recurring or one-off donations) you may claim an exclusive chrome lapel badge bearing our logo, deliverable to any address in the world.
