Loaded Laughs is our very own comedy night – created for Bradford 2025 with the brilliant Alex Dunlop (BFD Comedy), who’ll also be our MC on the night.

Line-up includes:

• Tadiwa Mahlunge
• Jamie Stevens
• Fannie Allan
• Bethany Black

Tadiwa Mahlunge
Billed as “one of the country’s top new comedy acts” by The York Press, Tadiwa Mahlunge has performed at the Latitude, Greenman, and Greenwich Comedy Festivals. He’s provided tour support for Dylan Moran, Ed Byrne, and Mark Watson, and TV warm-up for Desiree Burch’s Amazon Prime special. As seen on BBC 1, BBC 2, Dave, and Comedy Central, Tadiwa has established himself as one of comedy’s hottest prospects.

Bethany Black
Decidedly dark and deliciously different, an evening with Bethany Black is a one-way ticket to a world you never knew existed. Managing to balance being “dark-tinged but magical” (The Guardian) with being warm and chatty, she’s built a cult following for her brand of confessional comedy. She’s worked alongside some of the greats of the industry and is a regular at top clubs across the country.

Loading Bay is a brand new pop-up arts venue in Bradford City Centre for Bradford 2025.

Join us on Duke Street as we bring a true Bradford 2025 buzz to the heart of the city.
