Support SalFUNNI 2022

Back the future faces of comedy on their journey to the Edinburgh Fringe

SalFUNNI are returning to the Fringe with a fresh array of comedic talent! This will be the 3rd cohort of aspiring comedians from the UK University with the longest running full-time comedy degree to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe.

We have been lucky enough to have secured 3/4 of our Edinburgh adventure fund from the university, and so to complete the last leg, we thought we would ask our adoring fans for support!

Select 'Buy Tickets'* to support SalFUNNI.

About SalFUNNI

SalFUNNI 2022 is made up of 9 funny stand-ups, who will present an hour-long mixed bill to showcase their talents as the future faces of British comedy. From wordplay to whimsical, from dad to punk, there really is something for everyone to feast on at this comedy buffet.

We’ve got comic talent on the menu so fresh; you could brush your teeth with them – check us out here.

Why we need your support

Taking a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is notoriously an expensive endeavour, fraught with financial risk, with acts usually going up to the city with solo shows, desperate to be a festival and critic hit. With SalFUNNI, the cohort get to experience the thrills of the festival, and the journey of marketing, producing and performing a show without breaking the bank and with a solid support system from the University of Salford.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival gives such rich opportunities to budding comics and it is truly amazing that nine students will experience this adventure, thanks to your support. 

To be able to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe at such an early point in our comedy careers is endlessly beneficial to our growth and development as comics. By supporting the SalFUNNI 2022 cohort, you will be uplifting us to kick-start our performance careers and invest in the future of comedy – we promise to do you proud up there!

You may be wondering - “Where’s my slice of the pie at this comedy buffet?” Well, potential supporter, there are some fantastic rewards up for grabs to say thanks for your generosity.

*Select 'Buy Tickets' to support SalFUNNI (please note, this is not an actual ticket to an actual show, this is a pledge of support only). You will receive an automated booking confirmation from us which will state Monday 13 June, 6pm as the event date. Please disregard this. It just means the support submission closes on Monday 13 June at 6pm, there is no live event on that day.
