Belfast Comedy Festival returns with another diverse programme of delights featuring the best of local and international humour. Now in our sixth year, we aim to showcase local talent and a wide range of comedy performances at affordable prices. So join us in making Belfast laugh this October! See the full line up HERE.
Tomorrow, we are launching SatireDay with 15 terrific events all poking fun at life and the uncertain times we face in this mad, mad world. Belfast is noted for its sardonic wit so this theme fits much of our programme including the shows tomorrow featuring the Rubberbandits, Michelle & Arlene, Bill Hicks: Relentless, our Kate Bush dance parody and Alternative Bedtime Stories - to name but a few! Don't forget our conference in the Mac will also explore the local comedy scene including humour and conflict. So join us in having a laugh and satirising the powers that shape our world.
