The Comedy Carpet is a public art installation located in the British resort town of Blackpool, Lancashire. It is on the west side of Blackpool Promenade, adjacent to Blackpool Tower, in an area known as Tower Festival Headland. Consisting of a concrete and granite surface, it features names and quotes of famous comic writers and comedians - the majority of whom who performed in Blackpool - and is designed to resemble a music hall showbill. It was commissioned by Blackpool Council and was designed by Gordon Young, with the typography by Why Not Associates. It is one of the largest pieces of public art to have been commissioned in the United Kingdom.
