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.
