# The Comedy Circus at Stage And Radio
The Comedy Circus is a free live comedy night happening on Wednesday 29 April 2026 at 19:00, bringing together stand-up acts and sketch performances in one unpredictable evening of entertainment. If you're after a proper night out without breaking the bank, this is your chance to catch established and up-and-coming comedians doing their thing in an intimate Manchester setting. It's the kind of gig where you never quite know what's coming next, which is exactly what makes it brilliant.
Stage And Radio sits right in Manchester city centre, a venue known for hosting quality live entertainment across comedy, music, and spoken word nights. The intimate space has a real buzzy atmosphere—it's the sort of place where you feel close to the action rather than watching from the cheap seats, making it perfect for comedy where timing and audience connection matter. The location puts you bang in the middle of everything, so you can easily grab a drink before or after.
Head down early to bag a decent spot near the stage, and bring mates who appreciate unpredictable live comedy. The 18+ age restriction applies, so have your ID handy. With free entry, there's zero risk grabbing a ticket and seeing what unfolds—just show up, grab a drink from the bar, and let the night surprise you.
