Save the date! Exeter Comedy Festival will return on 3rd-6th June 2026!
We’re back! Exeter Comedy Festival returns 3–6 June 2026 for another long weekend of laughter. Last year we packed out 14 venues with over 80 shows, with a curated lineup ranging from big names like Bridget Christie, Josie Long and Tim Key, to family-friendly comedy, workshops, a podcast, and our favourite South West talent. With Fore Street and the Quay at the heart of the action, the festival brings a unique buzz to Exeter’s independent scene. We can’t wait to do it all again in 2026 – until then, check out some of our favourite moments from the past two years below!
