We are delighted to announce that the 11th Annual Women in Comedy Festival MCR returns in 2024, its technically our twelth year but Covid meant 2020 didn’t happen. The importance of this festival is more significant than ever as undiscovered talent has had limited outlets and exposure for nearly 3 years now and the lack of many festivals recently. Our Industry also needs healing, to come together again and socialise, network, showcase, learn, teach and reconnect. We are excited to bring another fantastic programme of shows, across many fantastic venues in Manchester City Centre and continue championing and supporting women in comedy.
“I’m proud to be supporting the UK Women in Comedy Festival as a patron. A festival filled with laughter combined with feminist principles taking place in the North … what’s not to support!” Maxine Peake

The Women in Comedy Festival has been instrumental in my journey as a comedian. All my shows have started here and the audiences bring bucket loads of enthusiasm – classic Manchester. It’s also a fantastic place to get inspired with such a wealth of talent performing, you can see people performing their very first gigs and top flight tv names. Long live the Women in Comedy Festival!
