The Bath Comedy Festival has been designed to attract the cream of cutting edge comedy and to encourage stand up, street theatre, caricature, film, plays, writers, artists, workshops, competitions and general humorous invention.
To create a truly memorable festival full of anticipation and comic firsts, we want to attract everything from the leading headline mega stars – to highly innovative fledgling acts who will become the greats of the future.
Minimal up front costs
Again, for this our second year we will waive our nominal charge for publishing your event details and we will give you a free section in the official printed programme to include photo, description and all key facts (see below), together with your booking details to appear on the What's On section of this website.
All we ask is for is an admin fee of £48 per act to confirm your booking. This should be paid by cheque, made payable to 'Bath Comedy Festival' and posted to Bath Comedy Festival, The Duchy, 5 Edward Street, Bath BA2 4DT.
In Return
We would be grateful for a handful of your best reserved seats which we can offer to sponsors and we can give away as prizes via the media.
To book your act
Simply choose your venue, organise your support and post your admin fee (see above).
Remember, because this is an open access festival it is often a case of 'first come'.
