Best comedians and comedy shows touring the UK in 2026 – and how to get tickets
There's nothing funny about how much we want tickets to these comedy tours.
In the midst of planning what the rest of 2026 will look like, it's always a good idea to schedule in some laughs among the bills, budgets and, well, general drudgery.
So if it's laughter you want – and we're not just talking polite titters, we mean back-bending, tears-inducing belly laughs – what better place to start than a comedy show?
Luckily for you, there are a huge line-up of star-studded comedians touring the UK in 2026 and 2027.
Some of them, like Scottish icon Susan Calman, have not been on tour in over a decade, while others are still going with shows that have been on since 2022 – all bow to Peter Kay.
But whether it's Jack Whitehall, Josh Widdicombe or even John Mulaney you're planning to see, all these comedians have committed themselves to traversing the entire country with their shows, so you won't have to travel far between them.
Plus, all the shows below have tickets still available, so let's stop joking around and show you what the year has to offer.
Make sure you check out some of our best exclusive interviews, like Rachel Zegler on the Evita balcony scene.
