The festival will run at the London venue from the 1st to the 18th August.
The Roundhouse Comedy Festival has confirmed its 2026 line up, including a flagship dition of Live at the Roundhouse, headlined by Frank Skinner, and featuring Phil Wang, Rosie Jones and Celya AB, hosted by Saturday Night Live UK star Paddy Young.
Running until the middle of August, and following the 20th anniversary celebration of the venue becoming an independent multi-arts space and youth charity, the festival returns after the resounding success of its 2023 debut.
This newly announced line-up will include performances from familiar faces such as Joe Lycett, Katherine Ryan, Sam Campbell, Ed Gamble, Sara Pascoe and Vittorio Angelone, alongside solo shows from Kristen Schaal (star of Bob’s Burgers) and Jack Rooke, creator of Big Boys.
Meanwhile, live podcast recordings from Adam Buxton and Alexei Sayle sit alongside a new wave of emerging talent, including Saturday Night Live UK breakout Ayoade Bamgboye and last year’s Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Sam Nicoresti.
Stand-up remains at the heart of the festival, with a series of curated mixed bills led by some of the most in-demand names in comedy. Star of Last One Laughing, Sam Campbell headlines a surreal, high-energy line-up alongside Fern Brady, Desiree Burch and Ayoade Bamgboye, while Ed Gamble tops a bill hosted by Taskmaster star Amy Gledhill, featuring Jamali Maddix and Sam Nicoresti. Sara Pascoe and Vittorio Angelone each host special “& Friends” nights, assembling hand-picked line-ups including Harriet Kemsley, Nina Conti, John Kearns, Michael Odewale, Troy Hawke and Janine Harouni.
