A performance of stand-up comedy is not a licensable activity. Rightly or wrongly, The incidental exemption is supposed to make exempt any facilities provided to enable it even when live nusic is used as part of this performance. Although I am not sure I follow the logic being used here.

However even if the proposed changes to the incidental exemption are accepted, the provision of an amplified instrument or PA to such an activity - would still need licensing as the provision of an Entertainment Facilty.

Not too sure about the provision of floor though?
