The largest open-air comedy festival in the UK returns to Leeds on Sunday, 26 July 2026, with a massive line-up of comedy favourites.
Headlining the bill is one of the nation’s favourite funny men, Jason Manford, joined by award-winning Irish comedian and broadcaster Dara Ó Briain.
A new addition to the lineup sees a familiar face from Have I Got News For You, QI and The Last Leg, Chris McCausland head to Kirkstall Abbey.
Fresh from The Traitors, Lucy Beaumont is also on the lineup, alongside TV favourites Babatunde Aleshe, Sara Pascoe, Geoff Norcott, Hal Cruttenden and more, hosted by the brilliant Jarred Christmas.
General admission and Premium Seated tickets are available, with Premium including priority access and entry to Bob’s Monkhouse, our exclusive hang-out in the Abbey’s own cloister.
