The Bill Murray / Angel Comedy
London, England, United Kingdom
First target reached!
The Fixed Costs to keep The Bill Murray up and running are £14,750 a month - that's...
Aim: The BIll Murray/ Angel Comedy cannot open or will be at 1/3 capacity until the Covid-19 pandemic is over, and so it needs support to survive
After 10 years building from a small open mic night once-a-week, to running a venue hosting over 50 shows a week, featuring acts like Eddie Izzard, Sindhu Vee, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Maria Bamford, James Acaster, Bridget Christie, Nish Kumar, Sara Pascoe, Jamali Maddox, Burt Kriesher, Romesh Ranganathan, Simon Amstell, Daniel Kitson, as well as thousands more, Angel Comedy is now very close to having to close.
Covid-19 has meant it cannot open it's doors - or can only do so at 1/3 capacity. To remain a live, viable, Comedy club it needs £14,750 a month (That's rent of £5000 a month, bills of £750 a month and staff costs of £9,000 a month - even on reduced wages)
The good news is that all it needs is a little support.
The price of a cup of tea a month from just 5% of people that came through our doors in early 2020 alone will help us.
