The all-new Norwich Comedy Garden arrives in Chapelfield Gardens from 1st - 5th July 2026, making it the sixth in the Comedy Garden festival series, with further festivals announced imminently for Cambridge, Greenwich, St Albans and Brighton.

The festival brings its signature supreme line-ups, featuring the leading lights of UK stand-up such as JACK DEE, DYLAN MORAN, SARA PASCOE, TOM ALLEN, ROSS NOBLE, ED GAMBLE and MICHELLE DE SWARTE among its headline names, as well as JIN HAO LI, EVALDOS KAROSAS, BELLA HULL and JEN NOLAN among the break-through talent presented this year. 

The riotous roll-call continues with Irish sensation KYLA COBBLER, Viceland’s JAMALI MADDIX, viral firebrand FIN TAYLOR, two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award winner JOHN KEARNS, BBC Radio 4 regular CATHERINE BOHART, Live At The Apollo powerhouse ED BYRNE, the unmissable SARAH KEYWORTH, podcast favourite HELEN BAUER, Taskmaster’s IVO GRAHAM, the razor-sharp CHLOE PETTS and many more — making choosing just one night almost impossible.

The Comedy Garden series launched first in Bristol back in 2011 by sibling team Will Briggs and Cass Randolph of 57 Festivals. Since then, up and down the country, their critically-acclaimed comedy festivals welcome tens of thousands of ticket holders each year.

Cass says: “We’re delighted to be adding Norwich to our family of festivals, it’s an excellent city with a keen eye for culture and good things, so we know our Comedy Garden event will do very well here. Having been voted the happiest city last year, we’re about to make it the funniest.”

Will adds:“We’ve lined up an incredible programme packed with the very best names in comedy to ensure our debut festival launches with a bang. We can’t wait to bring these shows to Norwich — it’s shaping up to be one of the highlights of the summer.”
