Comedy at the Castle announce new edition in Exeter this July - Tickets now live

Where open-air comedy is concerned in the UK, few festivals do it like Comedy at the Castle. However, for those of you further down South who have been looking on in envy, you're in luck. Today, Closeup Comedy has announced that Comedy at the Castle is coming to a brand-new venue! After two amazing years at Warwick Castle, they are expanding and preparing to laugh the roof off Powderham Castle in Exeter THIS July!

With three shows across two days, some of the best stand-up comics in the world, award-winning street food from Digbeth Dining Club, loads of ice-cold beers courtesy of Cobra, and Powderham Castle as the breathtaking backdrop; the stage is for an epic weekend of comedy which you can get tickets for now!

Tickets for Comedy at the Castle Exeter are now live! Scroll down to grab yours, and make sure to check out the incredible lineup below!

 

I suppose we should tell you a bit about those ready to test the integrity of your funny bone, shouldn't we? 

Well, Comedy royalty Frank Skinner headlines Friday night, with the former Room 101 host bringing decades of experience from his six best-selling stand-up specials. Alongside him is the sharp-witted, five-time Scottish Comedian of the Year, Larry Dean; the signature energy and naughtiness of Kane Brown—one of the country’s hottest comics right now; and the raw and bulletproof stand-up of rising star Kate Barron.

Saturday afternoon (11:30am - 4:30pm) sees Joel Dommett, the unstoppable Masked Singer presenter, joined by viral sensation Red Richardson, the ever-brilliant Jen Brister, and Andrew Mensah, whose quick wit has made him a star on Sky Sports' Fantasy Football League.

Then, Saturday night (6:00pm - 11:00pm) closes with a bang, led by the powerhouse that is Russell Kane, the rapid-fire mind behind Evil Genius. He’s joined by master of one-liners Gary Delaney, the effortlessly cool Matt Bragg, and Laura Smyth, whose sharp observations have earned her a rightful place on Live at the Apollo and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order.

And as always with Closeup Comedy, the riotously risqué host of the Dead Men Talking Podcats, Freddy Quinne will keep the night rolling as MC.

Tickets are on sale NOW! Don’t miss your chance to see some of the biggest and best comedians in the UK perform at the spectacular Powderham Castle—secure your spot before it sells out!
