The Cookie Jar (The Crumblin Cookie)

overview

The Crumblin’ Cookie began hosting events in 2009, and presented a series of comedy shows at the start of 2010 as part of the Leicester Comedy Festival. A unique mix of an intimate, coffee bar setting, and a top selection of hand picked comedians led to it being awarded ‘best new venue’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival Awards. After a refurbishment in January 2011 The Crumblin’ Cookie once again was part of the comedy festival, hosting the official mid-festival party, and presenting key acts such as Greg Davies and Paul Foot. A very successful festival led to another accolade at the festival awards, this time being named ‘best venue’.

As well as live comedy The Crumblin’ Cookie has hosted gigs, exhibitions, craft nights and other unique events, one of the most notable being last year’s ‘Barbacoustic’, which saw over 10 acts playing across two stages on a sunny Saturday in July.
