This April sees a new Comedy Festival in Bristol. 

The one-day event will run across three venues on Sunday 26th April and feature 18 hours of Fringe comedy previews from the likes of Rosie Jones, Stuart Goldsmith, and Mark Simmons. 

Burt Williamson and Andrew White who have organised the afternoon of shows were keen to offer a festival like this to Bristol’s bustling grassroots comedy scene.

“Every week the city is filled with extremely talented acts performing, and importantly to some very supportive audiences," they say. "There’s some other large-scale events out there, but Bristol Comedy Festival will be a much more intimate affair. There’s only a limited amount of seating in each venue and we hope to capture an exciting fringe feel with packed out smaller rooms.”

The line-up will feature TV and circuit names alongside rising stars and local acts. 

Bobby Mair and Sarah Keyworth kick off the afternoon at 12:40pm, and right up until the last 7:20pm show there will be a huge variety of acts including Marlon Davis, Olga Koch, Kai Samra, Catherine Bohart, Sara Barron, and Harriet Kemsley.

Tickets are sold individually (£3 Early Bird / £5 advance) with 3 shows running simultaneously in a time slot across The Boardroom, Horts Pub, and The Stag & Hounds – all within a ten minutes’ walk of each other.
