    Here is one free attraction in Blackpool that is well worth visiting. Taking up part of the Promenade opposite the Tower this public artwork is there to make you smile. It is crammed full of well recognised quotes and jokes from comedy legends old and new. Created in a haphazard, multi typeface colourful patchwork it is a sight to see and mull over and it will bring a smile to your face.

    Lovely location to view the tower. And we were lucky to be there when the fireworks were on which was an amazing show

    A great addition to Blackpool prom in my opinion! I've visited a few times but normally on a bike in the height of summer! This was the first time in the off peak season. Great place to hold a Christmas Market, and to gain exposure to the comedy carpet! There were plenty of people milling over the quotes, laughing and pointing! The attraction is free, and I always see people enjoying it when I pass! Highly recommended, even if it's to kill 30 mins of a day and have a belly laugh!

    A must see in Blackpool to reminisce, respect and laugh at the work of many comedians.

    Love Blackpool, stayed in lovely b&b for 1 night while we attended pier jam (Allendale in Albert road ) 30/07/22. However pier jam not so much No disabled toilets with running water (I had emailed in advance to ask if there were any disabled toilets, and was told yes there would be) No running water No hand sanitizer Toilets FULL of empty drug containers No real searches Sniffer dogs were FAKE They profiled people I need to carry anti sickness meds with me, the security cleared them without even looking in the box or actually at the tablets I could of carried all sorts in ! Drinks & food ques weren’t too bad to be fair, couple be better, considering they are aware of how many will be attending, surely the more staff you put on the more drinks/food you’ll sell 🤷‍♀️ NOT A festival of any sorts, no festival vibe, no stalls, no extras NO WRISTBANDS, it’s not a festival without wristbands I’m aware it’s not a seated event however, being as it’s run from 2pm-11pm & once your in you can’t leave, a small dry seating area would of being lovely just for half hour while we caught our breath, had something to eat and the carried on, not asking for tables and chairs, I’d cop a squat if the floor was dry ! VIP is what’s that ???? We were well and truly RIPPED OFF now we still don’t know the real reason why we were SOLD vip,at an extra cost, only to find when we arrived, there was NO VIP, I got 3 different answers of members of staff 1) VIP was last night (totally different event, that was called hellfire or something, different acts etc) we didn’t have tickets for the Friday only the Saturday. 2) VIP had to be cancelled ! ( they gave no reason why it was cancelled and we never received any form on communication from #pierjam or skiddle regarding any cancellations) 3) “O did you get done by the VIP SCAM?” Now I honestly have no idea if any of those excuse are actually real reasons or whether there is another ? Because lots of attendees have asked the same question “Why no VIP?” And as of today #pierjam nor #skiddle have not given any reason why we paid extra for VIP for did not receive it !! Would love any answer to this please I eventually got to front of stage, 1 row of young ladies in front of me, my issue here is…. There was a bit of scuffling and bullying and scrapping up the front, but there wasn’t 1 security guard in front of the railings !! If anyone had been taken ill or passed out, the only person who would see would be the artist on the stage and his crew!!! Disgusting !!!!! Prices of drinks were as to be expected so can’t complain about that. £4 for a big hotdog was great value (independent trader) My main concerns for any future #pierjam events is A) no disabled facilities B) no running water or hand sanitizer C) VIP SCAM- paid for something we didn’t receive D) you call THAT security ? Seriously ? Seriously Blackpool council you are part blame for this, you need to make sure your letting decent event organisers onto your grounds. You need to go check that what they say will be there is actually there You need to go and make sure it has basic human needs met !! No pier jam for me again !! Blackpool 5* #pierjam nil points 👎

    Brilliant installation on the Prom. It’s lovely to wander around looking at all the quotes and try to remember who said what!

    Comedy carpet just opposite the Blackpool Tower the A to Z of Comedy legends over past 100 years +. Names at each side of the carpet and in centre peace have various catchphrases from the comedians to Comedy shows. Best go over and see it yourself. Plus, if going into up in the tower can see it in view of glass floor.

    Enjoyed here as Christmas by the Sea event is on til end of year/into New Year. Very pleasant atmosphere, lots of yummy food and drink here too, synthetic ice rink and fairground to enjoy, worth a visit 😊

    The comedy carpet was lovely especially during the illuminations. Not as busy as you’d expect of an evening either, though I am told Saturdays are spectacularly busy. Do watch out for pick pockets as they are clearly around and of course there are plenty of stands waiting to take your money on the piers every evening! The view from each pier is stunning regardless of weather, always worth a walk down each!!!

    This place is free and on the prom facing the Blackpool tower. It's all news articles and funny jokes on the floor. U can stand on it or sit near it. Children can go here. It's right next to the beach iswell and not fair from the piers

    While photographing the Blackpool Tower from a distance, we just stepped on to a place that we later learnt was called Comedy Carpet. It was a pleasant surprised and we spent over half an hour walking over it and reading various captions. Very interesting and at places, quite funny. Just spend some time on it and you won't regret. With sea on one side and the majestic Blackpool Tower on the other, it's a perfect setting for something like this.

    It's so funny remembering the sketches and shows all these lines came from. I loved looking at the comedy roll of honour on the edge of the carpet. Location is great. Great views of the tower and the beach. Love love love
