Overlaughed – Free Stand Up Comedy
Overlaughed is a cracking night of free stand-up comedy happening at OverDraught on Wednesday 1 July 2026, kicking off at half seven. You'll get to see quality local and touring comedians without spending a penny, which is dead good if you're after a proper laugh without breaking the bank. It's the perfect midweek pick-me-up for anyone after some brilliant banter and top-tier jokes.
OverDraught is a proper gem in Manchester's nightlife scene, known for hosting intimate comedy nights that give comedians room to work with a close crowd. The venue's got a cracking atmosphere that's welcoming without being stuffy, making it ideal for both comedy regulars and first-timers wanting to dip their toe into the live stand-up circuit.
Getting there's easy – the venue's well-connected by tram and bus, and there's decent parking nearby if you're driving. Turn up early to grab a good spot and soak in the pre-show buzz, and remember it's 18+ only, so bring ID just in case. Stick around after the show too; the bar's stocked with decent drinks and the crowd's usually up for continuing the laughs.
