About Plymouth Comedy Festival

Something funny is happening in Plymouth.

From 5 to 7 February 2027, comedians and audiences will take over venues across the city for the very first Plymouth Comedy Festival.

Three days. Loads of shows. One hilarious city.

You might come for a comedian you’ve wanted to see for years. You might take a chance on someone you’ve never heard of. You might plan one show and somehow end up watching four.

That’s exactly the idea.

Plymouth Comedy Festival brings together big names, rising stars, local favourites and some of the most exciting acts coming through comedy right now. You’ll find them everywhere from intimate independent rooms to some of the city’s biggest stages.

And this is just the beginning.

We want to build a festival that becomes part of Plymouth. Something the city looks forward to every year and something comedians and comedy fans across the country know is worth making the trip for.

It starts in February 2027.
