If you love hilarious drag performances and interactive games, then FunnyBoyz Manchester is just the thing for you. Hosted by New York, New York, they're putting on everything from Benidorm bingo to comedy cabaret, with appearances from some RuPaul's Drag Race UK stars.
Laugh out loud with award-shortlisted drag comedian Lady Bushra and her dazzling show at Pot Kettle Black. Tickets are only £12 each, or a tenner if you're an early bird and promise a night of hilarity as she offers you a British South Asian perspective and iconic one-liners in a cabaret setting.
If you're looking to have a good laugh, shimmy over to Hot Water's events for some of the best stand-up comedy in Manchester. They're bringing you famous faces and the country's top headliners, including Paul Smith and more.
Supporting both local talent and more established acts, The Frog and Bucket Comedy Club have something for everyone. Big name headliners feature here, alongside showcases, open mic nights where the audience decides who stays on stage, and online streaming.
Granting you access some of the cities biggest shows and stand-up sessions, The Comedy Store Manchester tickets are a must for seeing the best talent on the circuit - both international and home. Get your giggle on at this funfair.
