Lovehoney Partners With Bath Comedy Festival, VisitBath

LONDON — Lovehoney has announced it will sponsor the Bath Comedy Festival in collaboration with VisitBath.co.uk.

Comedians Paul Merton, Barry Cryer and Arthur Smith will appear at the festival, which kicks off on April Fools’ Day and runs for 17 days in venues all across the city of Bath.

“We, like many of their best-selling products, are buzzing to be working with Lovehoney,” said Nick Steel, The Bath Comedy Festival director. “Bath Comedy Festival was declared by comedian, broadcaster and famously grumpy old man Arthur Smith to be the best comedy festival in England, with a growing reputation for quality, originality and — above all — fun. We are thrilled to be sponsored by Lovehoney who themselves have won many accolades for spreading their own special brand of happiness.”

Leslie Redwood, head of business development and partnerships at VisitBath, added, “We are delighted to be working with Lovehoney on this gem of a festival in our beautiful city of Bath.  We want Bath Comedy Festival to be a reason for people from all over the country to come and visit us.”

Lovehoney reports it has lots of rib-tickling surprises for festival goers, including a “Butt of All Jokes” Twitter competition that offers a year’s supply of lubricant and a unique dildo trophy to the winner. With the Bath-based company marking its 15th birthday later this year, attendees “can expect lots more sexy surprises too.”

“Lovehoney is delighted to work with Bath Comedy Festival and VisitBath on this fantastic event,” said Richard Longhurst, co-founder of Lovehoney. “It’s probably the first time that comedy fans have been able to enjoy rib-ticklers and feather ticklers on the same night out.“

The festival claims it is the first ‘F’ (female) rated United Kingdom comedy festival, as it “continues to fight against the traditional perception that comedy is male-dominated by championing female acts every day.” Female comedians appearing include Eleanor Conway, Ashley Storrie and Abi Roberts.

“Lovehoney has won a spate of awards in recent years acknowledging its great strides in the world of sexual happiness,” said a representative. “Even Buckingham Palace has given the company a big thumbs up, with the Queen presenting Lovehoney with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for boosting international trade last year.”

Ralph Oswick, festival patron, added, “It’s the perfect partnership: outgoing, adventurous, original and definitely naughty but nice!”
