Adam Kay and Clinton Baptiste are among the performers heading to Stoke Town Hall when Stoke-on-Trent Comedy Festival returns from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026.
The three-day festival will bring nine comedy events to the city, combining established performers with a showcase organised in collaboration with Comedy Kiln.
It is the third consecutive year the festival has been brought to Stoke-on-Trent by local organisers Me & Mrs Jones Comedy.
Who is on the line-up?
Kay, the comedian and author of This Is Going to Hurt, will appear alongside Clinton Baptiste, the clairvoyant character from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights.
The programme also includes Hannah Byczkowski, a winner of BBC's The Traitors, and Fatiha El-Ghorri, whose television appearances include Taskmaster and The Great Pottery Throw Down.
Lou Conran, Mick Miller and Hannah East are also on the bill. Me & Mrs Jones Comedy co-owner Dave Twentyman will support Clinton Baptiste, following a support appearance with Jason Manford at the Regent Theatre.
