The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival celebrated its FIFTH birthday in 2023, and boy – did we have a party! The festival saw engagement with more schools and communities than ever before, record attendances, and showcased hundreds of hilarious children through Loving Laughing, Laugh Academy and Joke Spot.

So THANK YOU. None of this would be half as fun without the support of our audiences, partners, local schools, libraries, and the comedians and practitioners who support the festival. Thank you so much for continuing to support the festival and our charity Big Difference – if you are able to support us with a donation, we would be very grateful, you can donate here.

This year we have a record breaking number of shows – 25% more than last year! Our full programme is available to view here – or – you can pick up a copy of the brochure in a shop or café near you! An online version of the brochure can also be accessed here.

We remain committed to making sure The UK Kids’ Comedy Festival continues to grow and to be a massive celebration of British comedy. We can’t wait to see you in 2024, for another year of fun. Save the date!
