Once again as the clocks change, the sun comes out and smiles return to faces, Bath will be treated to performances from some of the biggest and hottest names from the world of comedy, including Reginald D Hunter, Julian Clary, Fred MacAulay, Spencer Jones, Elf Lyons, Emmanuel Sonubi, Patrick Monahan and Zoe Lyons, alongside circuit stalwarts and the best of the up-and-coming generation of comedians.
The festival will have audiences laughing their socks off in some of Bath's most iconic locations both big and small. Venues span the length and breadth of the historic city, including Bath Forum, Walcot House, The Ring O Bells, The Hop Pole, Widcombe Social Club, The Bell, Komedia, Rondo Theatre and Bath Cider House.
Highlights include:
Festival Director Nick Steel says: "It's great to be back, and I'm proud to present some amazing shows from such a wide variety of artists and I think the most diverse line-up ever. I'm particularly looking forward to some big blasts from the past and shows unique to Bath Comedy Festival - you won't see these anywhere else! Julian Clary & Ian Show resurrect a partnership which goes back several decades, and I've persuaded Rowland Rivron out of semi-retirement to join an incredible whos-who April Fools' Gala bill which would rival the Royal Variety Show!
Couple these with a veritable plethora of up-and-coming talent, there is something to suit everyone's tastes. And everyone's budget too – our Affordable Festival is back offering dozens of 'pay what you feel' events.
We're also reprising our late show 'Live & Late', this year at the cool underground cocktail environment at Beneath, with a wide selection of comedians and a party atmosphere – the place to hang out with performers and organisers alike.
Bath Comedy Festival has grown in scale year on year, and Bath is now widely recognised as a centre for comedy and a key date on the annual comedy calendar. We're back with a vengeance and can't wait to welcome Bath's residents and visitors for another year of laughter.”
