A new campaign has been launched to help attract tourists and Brits to enjoy holidays in England.

Enjoy England is the company responsible for marketing England and they have chosen to promote our comedy connections. A map has been created that tourists can download. Over 150 locations with a comedy significance appear on the map.

The locations include places like the birthplace of different comedians, places that inspired famous jokes, venues for comedy festivals and more.

Some examples include the location of the infamous hotel in Fawlty Towers (Torquay); the home of Alan Partridge (Norwich) and the Last of the Summer Wine film location (Holmfirth, Yorkshire).

Enjoy England’s Marketing Manager, Laurence Bresh, said:

“England is renowned for producing some of the best comedy in the world and our sense of humour is a trait that the English are famous for. Comedy is an integral part of our heritage and culture and the Comedy England campaign will encourage visitors to explore some of the regions, locations and attractions which have contributed to this and further increase the 100m trips that Brits take in their own country every year.”
