The best night out in Hungerford

Hungerford Comedy Club is our town's very own comedy venue, featuring professional acts from the Comedy Circuit in London and the South. Every two months, we host a line up of established and newer comedy talent, including acts that have graced the stage of bigger venues like the world famous Comedy Store and have TV and radio credits to their names.

We are really proud to be presenting a comedy night at the Town Hall in Marlborough as part of the relaunched Marlborough Festival. Featuring Jon Wagstaffe and Alan Francis, plus Graeme Coulam as MC, we bring our 'usual' Hungerford show to Marlborough on Friday June 20. Tickets available from www.marlboroughfestival.com

This July we are launching the West Berks Comedy Festival, a full week of comedy programming from July 17-July 26th, across Thatcham, Newbury and Hungerford. Check out the West Berks Comedy Festival website for full details and scheduling.

Our upcoming show is

Friday, May 23, 2025 in The Croft Hall. Doors open at 19:30:00, show starts at 20:00:00.
NB: We have a limited cash bar at this venue.

Then our next night is

Friday, July 18, 2025 in Hungerford Town Football Club. Doors open at 19:00:00, show starts at 19:30:00.

If you cannot make one of our Hungerford nights, why not check out the gigs we run in Thatcham or Royal Wootton Bassett. Or if you like comedy that is raw, unrehearsed risky but not necessarily risque, we also have a new material night in Newbury.

If you have been to more than one of our other shows and are signed up to our mailing list, you can check to see if you are eligible for a discount on tickets.
