Comedy in the Dark is a comedy performance taking place in the dark. The show was developed and produced by the Leicester Comedy Festival,[1] with the first performance taking place at Belmont Hotel, Leicester, England on October 13, 2009. The show was originally developed to promote energy conservation.[2]

Comedy in the Dark was also presented at Edinburgh Fringe 2010, based at the Gilded Balloon.[2] Money from the shows was donated to the Comedy Wood - a real wood planted with donations from comedians and audience members.[2]
