Leicester Comedy Festival To Return To Harborough

Harborough is set for a week of laughter as part of this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival, running from 11th to 15th February 2026.

A variety of events will take place across the district, including stand-up, family-friendly shows, comedy trails, quizzes, mixed bills, and variety acts.

Popular venues like Harborough Market Hall and Lutterworth Town Hall will host events, while new venues such as Fifty Eight in Market Harborough are joining the programme for the first time.

Harborough Market will be transformed into a theatre during the festival

The Big Weekend will feature ‘Live at the Market Hall’ including performances from Britains’ Got Talent winner Lost Voice Guy, supported by Wendy Wason, Eric Rushton, David Arnold and MC Jason Neale!

Nina Gilligan, El Baldhiniho, Jenny Collier, Jules O’Brian and David Eagle will also take to stage.

Other highlights include performances from Louise Neigh, Adam Beardsmore, Joey Page and Jack Campbell at ‘Fancy A Laugh’ at the Octagonal Theatre in Market Harborough, as well as Matt Price, Tony Cowards and Samantha Day at Fleckney Village Hall.

There is also a special Comedy Club 4 Kids at Harborough Market Hall, where young audiences can enjoy top comedians without the rude material and events in Foxton.

Gail Bates, Market and Events Manager at Harborough District Council, said the festival offers something for everyone and is a great way to bring the community together:
