Multitude Media in Manchester has been appointed to handle the public relations for this year’s Manchester Comedy Festival.

The specialist PR agency was set up just over 2 years ago, working in entertainment and sport. It’s now representing 19 acts at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, as well as Goal.com and 2 Manchester comedians.
The 2010 Comedy Festival will be headlined by Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr and Mark Watson.

“We’re delighted to be working with the Manchester Comedy Festival as it’s one of the best and biggest of its kind in the country,” said Multitude Media founder and director, Will Wood.

“Manchester has a rich cultural history and the Manchester Comedy Festival will continue to show why, especially as the programme this year is shaping up to be the most exciting yet."

The full line-up for the Manchester Comedy Festival 2010 will be announced soon.
