Manchester is home to a thriving comedy circuit with 42+ shows, from sell-out arena tours and theatre runs to intimate club nights where the next big name is about to break. The city has produced many of the UK's most recognisable comedians, and that tradition continues through a network of dedicated comedy clubs, pub comedy nights and festival performances.

You will find everything from observational stand-up and character comedy to experimental shows and sketch nights. Highlights on the current bill include "Laughterama: Jack Dee & Red Richardson" and "Laughterama: Stewart Lee & Fern Brady". Whether you are planning a night out for a group, a date night or a solo laugh, Manchester's comedy calendar has you covered with shows at every price point.
