Don’t miss this Hull-arious local comedy festival in November - three weeks of laughs from some of the UK’s biggest names and top local talent! 🤩
This year, directors Jed & Gary are celebrating 10 years of bringing you Hull's funniest festival, Hull Comedy Festival - and it just keeps getting better!
The programme for the festival’s 19th year is packed with stand-up, sketch, family shows, and fringe events where anything can happen.
Hull will be rammed with comedy across venues big and small, from Hull Truck Theatre, Comedy Lounge and Hull Minster to cosy city centre bars and pop-up spaces.
With more than 7,500 people expected to attend, it’s set to be one of the liveliest celebrations of comedy anywhere in the region.
Headliners include the brilliantly sharp Suzi Ruffell with her brand-new show The Juggle, and the unpredictable Phil Nichol with Trying My Best. Josh Jones will bring his upbeat northern charm too, while Tony Law’s surreal fringe set promises something completely different.
It’s not just for grown-ups either - Family shows like Jeddy Bear & Gary’s Pie Wars mean there’s plenty for younger audiences too!
There’s a special launch night at Hull Minster, the perfect way to get involved if you haven’t before, featuring a mix of stand-up, comedy magic, and variety acts, all in support of Age UK HEY.
The festival starts with the annual showpiece event at Hull Truck, Best of 'Ull - which showcases some of the best local comedy talent, award winners, and rising comedy stars.
