Comedian Con Liverpool is Monopoly’s flagship occasion and the largest of the yr because of the inclusion of some unimaginable A-Listing friends and the cosplay championships, the place the winners of each different conference of the yr, all compete for the highest prize. This was undoubtedly the largest conference I’ve attended lately and would rival MCM in measurement but it surely’s undoubtedly apparent the place Monopoly invests it is assets as Comedian Con Liverpool was as flawlessly run with 40,000 attendees as Comedian Con Northeast was with a fifth of that attendance.
I solely attended on the Saturday and I had early entry and by the point I bought to the venue at round 10am, there was no queue to get in, I breezed via bag search and was in inside 5 minutes. The early tickets clearly hadn’t been oversold as I managed to stroll via the dealer corridor and browse leisurely till 12:30 when the remainder of the Saturday ticket holders bought in. At that time you could not get moved, however we moved over to the opposite venue the place the prop photographs have been and spent a while taking photographs. Having the second venue undoubtedly helped you flee the crowds and I used to be capable of get all of the photographs I needed.

As you possibly can see from my prop photographs, I am an enormous fan of the Cornetto trilogy and my major motive for attending was as a result of Simon Pegg had been introduced. I already met Nick Frost earlier this yr at Comedian Con Northeast, however I could not resist getting the duo collectively and it undoubtedly resulted in my favorite comedian con encounter of all time.
I met Simon Pegg first and he was pretty, actually making time for everybody. You needed to prebook a time slot for Simon and the duo with Nick, I had the final reserving so it was extremely relaxed, there was possibly forty of us so no rush to get everybody via, which was excellent for a visitor I used to be as enthusiastic about as Simon, then got here the duo shoot.
These have been undoubtedly a bit extra rushed as a result of Nick and Simon have been clearly having an excessive amount of enjoyable collectively however I bought a hug off of each of them, Nick is fingers down the very best hugger on this planet, and Simon tripped me up and was very apologetic about it. Nick was additionally an enormous fan of my t-shirt and despite the fact that I might solely paid for one photograph, he requested the photographer if we might do ‘a foolish one’ and I do not suppose anybody was going to argue.
Nick dubbed me Spider-Boobs and I bought this unimaginable photograph op in addition to an amazing reminiscence without cost. Once I purchased this t-shirt for Halloween I actually wasn’t planning on this but it surely was £20 nicely spent and I am so glad I made the journey to Liverpool after I wasn’t initially planning on going.
