Exeter Comedy Festival will return

1ST-6TH June 2027!

We’re back! Exeter Comedy Festival returns 1–6 June 2027 for another week of laughter. Last year we packed out 24 venues with over 100 shows, with a curated lineup ranging from big names like Josh Widdicombe, Nish Kumar and Bridget Christie, to family-friendly comedy, workshops, book talks, a podcast, and our favourite South West talent. With Fore Street, Gandy Street, and the Quay at the heart of the action, the festival brings a unique buzz to Exeter’s independent scene.

Help make the festival happen

Exeter Comedy Festival is an independent festival, and it takes a lot of people to make it happen. If you love having exciting comedy on your doorstep, you can help us bring it back each year by becoming a Friend of the Fest on Patreon for ÂŁ3 a month.

You’ll get early access to tickets, occasional extras and a place in our little festival community. More than anything, you’ll be helping us keep the festival going, and we really appreciate it.

We can’t wait to do it all again in JUNE - until then, check out some of our favourite moments from the past three years below!
