About This Event

Mike Wozniak brings his latest show, The Bench, to Manchester's Opera House on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 19:30. The British comedian and actor, known for his razor-sharp observational humour and clever character work, delivers a fresh hour of comedy that's already generating buzz on the circuit. If you've caught his previous material or his appearances on shows like Taskmaster, you'll know Wozniak's got a knack for finding the funny in everyday situations with real intelligence and warmth.

The Opera House sits in the heart of Castlefield, Manchester's historic cultural quarter, housed in a stunning Victorian building that's been a cornerstone of the city's arts scene for generations. You'll be catching the show in one of the North West's most atmospheric venues, surrounded by independent bars, galleries, and the scenic waterways that make this neighbourhood worth exploring before or after the performance.

Getting there's straightforward – Castlefield tram station is just a short walk away, or there's ample parking nearby if you're driving in. Arrive early to soak up the pre-show atmosphere in the bars around the venue, and expect an evening of smart, engaging comedy from one of the country's sharpest comedians. Sunday nights in Castlefield have a special buzz, so make an evening of it.
