About This Event

The Comedy Circus is bringing a wild night of stand-up and sketch comedy to Manchester's city centre on Wednesday 22 April 2026, and the best part? It's completely free. This is your chance to discover fresh talent and established comedians in an intimate setting without breaking the bank, making it the perfect midweek escape for anyone after a proper laugh in Manc.

Stage And Radio has earned its reputation as one of Manchester's go-to venues for live entertainment, tucked right in the heart of the city where the energy is always buzzing. The venue's compact setup creates that brilliant club atmosphere where you feel genuinely close to the performers, whether they're working the crowd or delivering their tightest material. It's the kind of place where comedy hits different.

Doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to grab a good spot and settle in with a drink from the bar. You'll need to be 18 or over to get in, and it's worth checking Stage And Radio's socials beforehand to see who's performing that night. The city centre location means it's easily accessible by tram or bus, and there's plenty of options for food and drinks nearby if you fancy making an evening of it in Manchester's lively entertainment district.
