Join us on Thursday 15th January to celebrate the opening of The Bristol Comedy Festival 2026!

Our first event is the premiere of The Home of Comedy, a documentary that takes you behind the scenes of the 2025 festival and the opening of The Gaffe Comedy Club.

"After their beloved venue is forced to close, a determined group of comedians battle the odds to achieve their dream of launching an epic comedy festival in Bristol."

Produced in collaboration with The Gaffe Comedy Club and Social Wednesday, The Home of Comedy throws you behind the scenes of The Bristol Comedy Festival 2025 and the opening of The Gaffe Comedy Club. This bares-all documentary shines a light on the passion and grit at the heart of Bristol’s unique comedy scene.
