The Comedy Circus at Stage And Radio, Manchester
The Comedy Circus is a free live comedy night that's perfect for anyone looking for a brilliant Wednesday evening out in Manchester city centre. This is proper grassroots comedy featuring up-and-coming acts and established performers, giving you the chance to catch some seriously funny people without spending a quid. It's the kind of gig that keeps Manchester's comedy scene buzzing and gives local talent a platform.
Stage And Radio sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre and has become known for hosting quality live events that actually matter to the community. The intimate setting of the venue means you're genuinely close to the performers, which makes for a much better comedy experience than sitting at the back of a cavernous room. It's the sort of place that attracts the kind of crowds who actually care about good entertainment rather than just getting hammered.
Getting there is dead easy – the venue's centrally located so you can reach it from Piccadilly, Market Street, or the Northern Quarter in minutes. The show kicks off at 7pm on Wednesday 24 June 2026, so arrive a bit early to grab a decent spot and maybe a drink. Fair warning: these nights can get busy with locals in the know, so don't sleep on it.
