Stamptown announce Brighton and Manchester dates for 2026 tour

Stamptown Edinburgh

Stamptown have announced new dates in Brighton and Manchester as part of their 2026 UK and Ireland tour, with tickets going on sale this week.

The raucous comedy collective made their Netflix debut last month, and the new run includes a Brighton homecoming plus the show’s first ever night in Manchester.

Pre-sale opens at 10am on Thursday 24 September, with general sale at 10am on Friday 25 September via Ticketmaster.

Stamptown play Brighton Dome Corn Exchange on Saturday 24 October, ten years after the city became one of the first places to see the show. The Manchester date, at The Lowry Quay Theatre on Tuesday 10 November, will be the collective’s debut in the city.

The rest of the tour takes in Dublin’s 3Arena and two nights at London’s Soho Theatre Walthamstow.

Tour dates:

  • Thursday 15 October: Dublin 3Arena
  • Saturday 24 October: Brighton Dome Corn Exchange
  • Monday 2 November: London Soho Theatre Walthamstow
  • Tuesday 3 November: London Soho Theatre Walthamstow
  • Tuesday 10 November: Manchester, The Lowry Quay Theatre

Hosted by Zach Zucker, billed as the bad boy of clown, Stamptown is a fast, chaotic variety night mixing alternative comedians, clowns and cabaret. Where a typical stand up set hangs on jokes at a microphone, this one leans on interactive anti comedy, absurd character routines, live musical numbers and a lot more besides.

Past guests have included Neil Patrick Harris, Richard Kind, David Cross, Aisling Bea, Natalie Palamides, Vittorio Angelone, Viggo Venn, Richard Gadd, Mae Martin, Karen Gillan, Sarah Sherman, Cat Cohen, Randy Feltface, Kemah Bob, Rachel Sennott and Sam Campbell.

The show has packed out rooms at Netflix Is A Joke, Just For Laughs, Glastonbury, SXSW, Lincoln Centre, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the O2 Arena, Off Broadway and Off West End, and has sold out five Edinburgh Fringes in a row. UK festival crowds also got a taste when Stamptown hosted Latitude’s first late night comedy club at The Listening Post in 2023.

Chortle has called it “the best late-night show on the festival circuit.” The Guardian gave it four stars as “winningly helter-skelter late-night entertainment,” the Telegraph called it “the late night cabaret to see,” and One4Review went further still, branding it “the greatest variety show in the world.”
