About I Photograph Comedians! Artist Gallery Tour

Step inside the I Photograph Comedians! exhibition exhibition for a special lunchtime tour with photographer Andy Hollingworth, whose career spans nearly 30 years, capturing some of the UK’s funniest performers.

The exhibition features nearly 80 images, including studio portraits, rare contemplative moments off-stage and live stage performances. It also features comedy memorabilia, including a signed pair of Rik Mayall’s underpants and photographs of iconic objects such as Billy Connolly’s banana boots.
