A five-night comedy festival near Bath featuring major British stand-up names, headline acts and boutique festival atmosphere.

The Rode Comedy Festival returns for 2026 with five evenings of world-class stand-up comedy in a beautiful countryside setting near Bath.

Founded in 2020, the boutique festival has quickly become one of the South West's most popular comedy events. This year's programme features an outstanding line-up including Sir Lenny Henry, Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Tom Davis, Jen Brister and Iain Stirling, alongside performances from Zoe Lyons, Tom Wrigglesworth, Laura Smyth, Rob Rouse and many more.

Visitors can also enjoy live music, artisan food vendors and a fully stocked bar, while Sunday's special charity gameshow hosted by Jarred Christmas and Hobbit promises plenty of laughs for a great cause.
