Milton Keynes is gearing up for four unforgettable days of laughter as tickets are now officially on sale for the first ever Milton Keynes Comedy Festival, taking place from 9–12 July 2026 across multiple venues in the city centre.
Following February’s announcement of the festival’s star‑studded line‑up, comedy fans can now secure their seats for some of the biggest names in British comedy, with tickets available exclusively here.
Created by MyMiltonKeynes BID in partnership with The Comedy Cow, the festival will transform iconic city locations — including
Hotel La Tour,
MK Gallery,
Blossom Room,
Midsummer Tap,
Revolución de Cuba,
MERKUR Casino and
The Residence — into a buzzing four‑day celebration of comedy talent.
Audiences can look forward to major big name acts including:
Ed Byrne | Joe Pasquale | Sara Pascoe | Simon Brodkin | Rhys James | Ninia Benjamin | Matt Richardson | Ria Lina | Felicity Ward | Fiona Allen | Darren Harriott | Hal Cruttenden | Brennan Reece | Tez Ilyas | Eshaan Akbar | Jo Caulfied.
These national favourites will be joined by a diverse programme of alternative and interactive shows such as John Robertson’s The Dark Room, The Noise Next Door, CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation, WiFi Wars, and Star Wars Improv, along with the much‑loved Faulty Towers dining experience.
Jill Farnsworth, CEO of MyMiltonKeynes BID, said:
“The reaction to the launch of the Milton Keynes Comedy Festival has been phenomenal. We’re thrilled to now open ticket sales and give people the chance to book to see these great acts. This is a huge moment for Milton Keynes and we can’t wait to welcome audiences for four days of brilliant entertainment this July.”
Mark Row and Ben Robinson of The Comedy Cow added:
“We’ve curated a festival that mixes household names with innovative and immersive comedy experiences. MK is ready for a major comedy moment — and this is just the beginning.”
With shows running day and night across the long weekend, the festival promises to bring new audiences into the city, boost the local economy and shine a light on Milton Keynes’ growing cultural scene.
