Manchester Laughterama is set to return to Castlefield Bowl from 2-6 September, promising a star-studded lineup of comedians. Among those listed by the festival is Stewart Lee, who rose to fame as part of the two-man act Lee and Herring. Jack Dee, Nick Mohammed and Last One Laughing’s Amy Gledhill are also set to perform at this year’s event.
Previous Lineups and Festival Growth
Previous lineups at the festival have included James Acaster, Alan Davies and Sarah Pascoe. First founded in 2022, Manchester Laughterama welcomed roughly 10,000 guests in its initial year, according to the Manchester Evening News. The festival has since grown in popularity, attracting a wider audience and more prominent comedians each year.
This year's event promises a diverse range of comedic styles, from Lee's satirical and observational humour to Dee's deadpan delivery and Mohammed's character-driven sketches. Amy Gledhill, known for her sharp wit and energetic performances, adds to the eclectic mix.
Organisers expect attendance to exceed previous years, with tickets already in high demand. The festival continues to solidify its reputation as a key date in the UK comedy calendar, drawing both established stars and emerging talents.
