Millennium Forum Theatre

 

A BIT OF BACKGROUND

The Millennium Forum is inviting companies to come and tickle our funny bone, by launching an exciting new sponsorship venture.  As part of our continued development of the venue we would like to offer a company the opportunity to become the official comedy sponsor of the Millennium Forum.

The Millennium Forum Theatre and Conference Centre is the premier theatre in the North West of Ireland.  Centred in the heart of Derry City, the Millennium Forum welcomes 340,000 plus visitors through its doors every year and offers a vast array of shows including comedy, musicals, drama and Broadway shows.

One of the highlights in our theatre would be our stand-up comedy nights. We have several sold out comedy nights each season.

This is one of the main attractions and a consistent high-ticket seller.  There is a very long list of household names of comedians that regularly perform in the Forum as they tour the country.  The Forum has hosted names such as Tommy Tiernan, Jimmy Carr, Dara Ó Briain, Kevin Mc Aleer and Ardal O’Hanlon.  The venue also plays host to high profile comedy plays such as Mrs Brown’s Boys. Each season the Millennium Forum strives to bring top named comedians to perform in the venue resulting in the Forum typically having on average three or four household names performing each season.
