Company activities and impact

The Veterans’ Comedy Club’s aim in its first year was to build momentum, raise awareness and funds to enable it to achieve its aims. To achieve this we have: Performed live comedy to a range of audiences including: The Royal British Legion Llay Club; National Armed Forces Week at the National Memorial Arboretum; The Edinburgh Fringe at the Lady Haig Poppy Factory; Poppy Appeal Launch with the RBL Spain District; Sea Harriers Association, Royal Welsh and Spondon RBL Club. The total reach of the performances exceeded 2,500 individuals and raised awareness of the aims of the VCC with a wide range of audiences. The performances both gave our community the opportunities to perform and develop their skills and raised awareness of the resilience of the armed forces community. At the Edinburgh Fringe a VIP show enabled us to connect to key military, political and corporate partners to raise awareness of our work. The profile of the VCC in social media was also established. We now have 625 followers on Facebook, and 228 on Instagram. We also have a LinkedIn profile with 240 connections. We have connected our community at on-line workshops and through social media connections. At all our shows we have raised funds to enable us to develop a new course to support veterans wishing to experience the power and connection of comedy.

Consultation with stakeholders

Connections have been made with key partners including The Royal British Legion, National Memorial Arboretum, Poppyscotland. All these partners worked with the VCC to develop the performances and engage with local armed forces communities and supporters. Each was consulted on how the performances would be developed to ensure maximum impact. Consultation is ongoing with Janice Connolly BEM and the Drive Project to develop future programmes. Consultation is also ongoing with the Comedy School to bring their alumni together with the VCC to develop future performances. The VCC has also signed the Armed Forces Covenant at an event at the Senedd in Cardiff.
