Run by a small team from the local comedy scene, The Bristol Comedy Festival was established to champion Bristol’s thriving comedy scene and showcase both emerging and established talent.
Bristol Comedy Festival 2026 will see names like Bristol’s Jayde Adams, author and funny man Mark Watson, critically-acclaimed stand-up and podcaster Milo Edwards and breakout winner of So You Think You’re Funny, Finlay Christie.
The event will once again run in partnership with organisations across the city, with support from Bristol BID, creating a vibrant, inclusive programme that highlights the very best of Bristol’s live entertainment scene. Comedians will take over venues in Bristol, including Bristol Folk House, Basement 45, Strange Brew, The Gaffe Comedy Club, St George’s Bristol, and many more.
New for 2026, ticket buyers will be able to add an optional donation to TAP for Bristol when purchasing tickets.
