Leeds comedy shows

Julian Barratt, Barry Cryer, Ernie Wise and Vic Reeves are just a few of the comedians proud to call Leeds home in what is a comically rich city. Comedy nights are many fold throughout the city. Venues like The Rock Bar hold a twice monthly residency called Chortle Kombat which hosts big names, offers discounted drinks and of courser plenty of laughs. 

In a 2021 survey, 82% of people in Leeds said they consider themselves funny. So it would only make sense that Leeds’ stand up comedy scene is thriving. If you’re looking for a cracking comedy night in Leeds, here are some of our faves.

Head over to Pryzm for the Comedy Cabaret, where some of the UK’s best comedians do what they do best, leaving you laughing so hard you can barely breathe. And as Pryzm's a nightclub, you’ll get free passes for the evening. That’s weekend plans sorted! Other comedy shows to check out include The Muslims Are Coming and Bring The Laughter, both at The Wardrobe.
