We are thrilled to announce that we have renewed our headline sponsorship of the Southport Comedy Festival for 2026. Following a successful partnership, after the 2025 edition saw strong attendance with so many hilarious acts, it's brilliant to be able to support it for another year.
The 2026 Comedy Festival — the 15th annual — is scheduled to run from 2 to 18 October at Victoria Park, Southport. As in previous years, the event will be staged in a luxury heated and seated marquee, offering 17 days of stand-up, variety shows, and comedy bingo nights for a diverse audience.
The 2026 lineup of acts will be revealed in the coming months, promising a mix of top-class comedians and emerging talent, with Gary Delaney and Laura Smyth already confirmed.
