Bristol Comedy & Stand-Up Events
— 157 upcoming eventsBristol's Comedy Scene
Bristol is an essential stop-off in the UK comedy circuit. The Comedy Box is probably the city’s most prolific stand up promoter, regular shows bring crowds to The Hen and Chicken, The Tobacco Factory and Colston Hall’s ‘The Lantern’. In summer The Comedy Garden in Queens Square brings a who’s who in British comedy with past guests including Stewart Lee, Marcus Brigstocke, Mark Watson and Shappi Khorsandi. The Loco Club (beneath Temple Meads train station) is home to occasional stand up nights promoted by Bristol Underground Comedy. In the city centre alongside the headliners found at Colston Hall and Bristol Hippodrome, Riproar Comedy host stand-up every Friday and Saturday evening.
Our recent comedy recommendations
Pravanya says: “Makes Sunday feel like the new Saturday, and the venue is very nice. Rooftop vibes are always the one. If you wanted to put on like a pretty dress or a nice shirt you could, get a bottle of Prosecco for the table, take a few pics for the gram, the sort of pics that can go on the grid - it’s that sort of vibe. Hosted by Morgan Rees, one of Bristol’s best comics and such an amazing writer. There‘s always a brilliant headliner and amazing acts.”.

WHAT OUR EDITORS SAY
Ludicrously good line ups, great beer and a good time. That's what we're promising at The Bristol Comedy Den, a new weekly comedy night that will bring the best of the UK circuit to the basement below Sidney & Eden. Big names, big laughs.

*** Alex Farrow uses stand-up comedy to explore the funny side of philosophy. Having performed everywhere from Mervyn Stutter’s pick of the Edinburgh Fringe, the National Museum of Scotland, The Oxford University Teaching Awards, and comedy clubs throughout the UK Alex brings his unique brand of cerebral stand up to the Bristol Comedy Festival this year as part of his Work in Progress show.
Having started performing comedy in the summer of 2016, Jamie has quickly established himself as a rising star on the comedy circuit. He has reached the finals of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? and The Musical Comedy Awards, as well as being shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award. Jamie was also the runner up at Hastings Fringe New Comedian Of The Year.
Coming from a musical background, he is adept at both straight stand up and musical comedy. Jamie has appeared on the BBC Asian Network ‘Stand Up Show’ which TX'd live on radio and featured on the iPlayer and ‘Comedy Central at the Edinburgh Fringe’. He currently performs at many clubs all across the UK, including The Comedy Store and Up The Creek.
