Our Vision

Bath Comedy Festival presents household names in the world of comedy and promotes the big names of tomorrow while encouraging young hopefuls in the form of the New Act Competition, plus events involving children, women's comedy and disabled performers.

The Festival focuses on creating new audiences and discovering new venues and exciting possibilities for participation and comic imagination in our beautiful World Heritage city.

Our aim is to bring Bath to life with a colourful, vibrant, inclusive and dedicated mix of comedy in all its many guises, including stand-up, street theatre, film, theatre, writing, art, workshops, music and mystery tours.
