The Comedy Circus is your midweek laugh fix, landing at Stage And Radio on Wednesday 19 August 2026 at 7pm sharp. This isn't your standard stand-up night – it's a proper circus of comedy talent, mixing established acts with rising stars across an evening of solid entertainment. If you're after a laugh without committing to a full weekend, this is the one.
Stage And Radio sits right in Manchester's city centre and has become a go-to spot for live comedy and music events. The venue's intimate setup means you're close enough to catch every joke and ad-lib, while the bar keeps the drinks flowing between sets. It's the kind of place that feels properly local, not a chain venue trying too hard – Mancunians know it as a quality spot for a proper night out.
Getting there's straightforward from Piccadilly or Oxford Road stations, or grab a tram if you're heading in from further out. Doors open at 7pm, so arrive early to grab a decent seat and settle in with a drink. Expect around two hours of comedy across the evening, and bring mates who can handle a bit of banter – the atmosphere's always buzzing, and hecklers sometimes become part of the show.
