Welcome to Hot Water’s Liverpool Comedy Festival - four days of comedy, entertainment, live music, food, drink, funfairs and festival atmosphere, all brought together under one roof at Blackstock Market, home of the Hot Water Comedy Club.
Created, funded and delivered by the team behind Hot Water Comedy Club, this brand-new festival has one simple aim: to celebrate everything that makes Liverpool one of the best comedy cities in the world.
For four days, Blackstock Market will be transformed into a festival village packed with laughter, entertainment and experiences for all ages.
With 70+ comedy shows running across multiple stages and performance spaces, the festival will feature major touring acts, household names, podcasts, mixed bills, rising stars, one-off specials and some of the very best comedians from Liverpool and beyond. Whether you’re a lifelong comedy fan or just looking for a great day out, there’ll be something happening around every corner.
But this isn’t just about what happens on stage.
Throughout the festival, guests can enjoy live music, family entertainment, street food, festival bars, whisky tasting sessions, outdoor seating areas, games, festival rides and activities across Blackstock Market. Come for a show, stay for the atmosphere, or spend the whole day exploring everything the festival has to offer.
As the home of Hot Water Comedy Club, Blackstock Market has quickly become one of Liverpool’s most exciting entertainment destinations. Hot Water’s Liverpool Comedy Festival is our chance to bring everything together and showcase exactly what can happen when great comedy, great entertainment and great people come together in one place.
This is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a comedy festival that grows year after year, creating something Liverpool can be proud of while continuing to support comedians, performers, artists and the city’s wider creative community.
One venue. Multiple stages. Four days. 70+ shows.
Welcome to Hot Water’s Liverpool Comedy Festival.
Paul Blair, Managing Director of Hot Water Comedy Club said:
We’re incredibly proud to be launching a comedy festival that truly reflects Liverpool’s world-famous sense of humour and comedy heritage. Bringing together established stars, rising talent and local comedians under one roof, it’s a genuine celebration of live comedy and everything that makes the city’s comedy scene so special.
This is just the start. Our ambition is to grow the festival year after year into one of the UK’s biggest comedy festivals while continuing to champion local comedians and give audiences an unforgettable live experience. There’s simply nothing like being in a room full of laughter – live comedy in proper comedy clubs will always beat watching a screen at an arena.
