The Southport Comedy Festival in association with Halliwell Jones Kia Southport is back in 2026 for its 15^th year! and it is going to be bigger and better than ever.

2025 saw over 6000 people attending with a record nine sell out shows!

From the 2nd to 18th October 2026, stars from the world of comedy will descend on our lovely seaside town for 17 days of laughter.

Courtesy of Elite Events this year’s festival will be staged once again in a giant luxury heated and seated marquee in the beautiful grounds of Victoria Park.

Our first shows for 2026 are already on sale with more to be announced over the next few months

So, turn off your TV, grab your coat and come out and join us for some real live comedy!

Without our wonderful sponsors there wouldn’t have been a Southport Comedy Festival in 2025. Please click on our sponsors logos to see who’s helping to keep Southport smiling!

We can’t wait to see you there
