The grand final of SketchFest 2026 took place last night at the Canal Café, following two weeks of heats where acts performed a 50 - 60 minute original show at both Hen and Chickens and Canal Café. 

The three strongest acts from the heats - The Tiny Umbrellas, Will and Noah and The Supermalts presented final 20 minute performances to a capacity audience. Kevin Eldon (Brass Eye, I Am Alan Partridge, Inside No.9) and Phil Whelans (Radio 4) were the judges for the Finals.
