New jokes. New stories. That's all. (But it's a lot!)

Sara Barron is one of the fastest-rising comedians of her generation. Since her 2018 debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, she’s starred on shows including Live at the Apollo (BBC), Would I Lie to You? (BBC) and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC).

A powerhouse live act, Sara has taken four critically-acclaimed stand-up hours, For Worse (2018), Enemies Closer (2019), Hard Feelings (2022) and Anything For You (2024) to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and had multiple runs in London’s Soho Theatre. Her shows have received rave reviews from publications including The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Evening Standard and The Scotsman, and she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Jane Gregory has misophonia and can't stand the sound of loud breathing or eating. Steve Hall never learned table manners. Somehow despite this they've been married for 15 years. This show is both an introduction to misophonia, and a test of the strength of their union. With jokes. Jane is a clinical psychologist and the author of Sounds Like Misophonia. Steve is a stand-up who has supported Frank Skinner and Russell Howard on tour in 2024 ("Steve Hall is the most intelligent stand-up you've never heard of" - GQ).

The earliest beginnings of what will eventually become a brand new show that might even still be called KETTLE. We’ll probably just decide on the day if we like?

From Jessica Fostekew who you know from BBCs QI or Live at the Apollo, her two BBC R4 series of ‘Sturdy Girl Club’, The Guilty Feminist, the Hoovering Podcast, Travelman on C4, World’s Most Dangerous Roads on Dave, Celebrity University Challenge where she intellectually soiled herself on prime time viewing this Christmas or even just all the other Machynlleth Festivals she has done.

A feel-good show about apocalyptic dread. Caitriona spends most of her time worrying about the future and studying our medieval past. Can she learn to live in the moment? Following her double-award-nominated debut show, she returns with musings on the history of aviation, the shortcomings of modern gynaecology, and the 1518 Dancing Plague.

Tasmin Sarkany (Musical Comedy Awards finalist, "highly skilful... ingenious" - Chortle) is a musical character comedian who plays Amelia Crotchet, a semi-failed classical musician in a double act with her violin. She is about to play the most important concert of her career: a complete performance of Bach’s repertoire for solo violin, accompanied by a complete history of his life and works. Unfortunately though, Amelia is easily distracted. She’s got a couple of comedians to help her through it, but will they be up to the task? Expect silliness, some historically questionable facts about Bach and, if she gets round to it, some beautiful classical music.

William Stone has been described as an "excellent writer of quirky one-liners" (Chortle). But don't feel left out if you don't get them, he doesn't either.

Award-winning comedian Hasan Al-Habib presents an hour of new material.

Hasan will be bringing his debut solo hour ‘Hasan Al-Habib: Death to the West (Midlands)’ to the Edinburgh Fringe this year. In 2024, his and Aisha Amanduri’s Edinburgh Fringe show “2 Muslim 2 Furious” sold out its entire run at the Festival:

“Hasan Al-Habib will be famous in at least two languages very soon with an emphatic stage presence and mainstream appeal”. Rolling Stone

Hasan has also won the 2023 Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award, and was a finalist in the 2022 Chortle Students Comedy Awards.

Lucy Pearman is working out a new show and wobbling around as the moon.

There will definitely be a song, a cow and in an ideal world, an audience.

‘Spending an hour in Pearman’s world is a true delight’ ★★★★ List

After a sell-out debut, Lulu returns with a second hour of hilarious confessional stand-up! With an emotional support dog, and an emotional support piano, she asks: What actually is love? The warm feeling of safety or the darkest throes of mental illness? Lulu explores what love really means and whether it's actually worth all the bother, with pit-stops at naughty vicars, pure OCD, and the bisexual implications of Disney's Robin Hood.

"Playfully funny, thought-provoking and has kindness at its heart." Chortle

"Will soon be one of your favourite comedians." ★★★★ Funny Women

★★★★ Broadway Baby

★★★★ Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe

‘Highly recommended’ - Stephen Fry

Hot off the heels of her sold-out 2024 Fringe run, where she was nominated for NextUp's Biggest Award in Comedy and ranked as one of the best-reviewed shows at the festival, Shetland-born standup Marjolein is trying out new material for her next show. As seen/heard on BBC New Comedy Awards, Rosie Jones' Comedy Extravaganza, Breaking The News and RHLSTP.

'Powerful, uncanny, and hilarious in equal measure. Marjolein Robertson’s star isn’t rising, it has risen' ****1/2 (Quintessential Review).

'Impish... upbeat, able to mine an everyday observation to almost absurdist lengths' ***** (List).

'Remember the name. This is a star in the making' ***** (One4Review)

Award-winning comedian Dee Allum presents an hour of new material.

Dee brought her debut show, ‘Dee Allum: Deadname’, to the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe to wide critical acclaim:

“A story of gender identity told with panache, charm, self-deprecation and copious wit…an inventive, casually ironic storytelling skill…a true stand-up.” ★★★★ The Times

Dee has also been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards, placed as runner up in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year award 2021, won the 2Northdown New Act Competition 2021 and was a finalist in the 2022 BBC New Comedy Award competition.

Middle-aged and newly single, he's spent the salary of an NHS nurse in Decathlon and he's on the verge of a breakdown. Get to know this absurd and deeply flawed man as he gets to know himself. Goofy drag king show from award-winning character comedian Kathy Maniura, BBC New Comedian shortlisted, 2023 and Sketch Off winner, 2020. Follows her debut show Objectified, which received five-star reviews at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and subsequently toured the UK, gaining four award nominations.

'Charming' (Guardian).

'Stand-out performer... enigmatic' (Scotsman). Directed by Cecily Nash.

ABK is the crumbliest comedian in the game: a multi-award-winning stand-up comic and (occasionally) an internet sensation. Come vagabonds, come mountebanks, come coney-catchers and cutpurses and meet the King of Crumbs! As seen on Mock the Week and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

***** "An absolute treasure trove" (Chortle)

"Either a genius or a very silly man" (Rolling Stone)

An hour of stand-up comedy from the working man’s Milk Tray Man. From the mind that brought you the Guinness Nitrosurge. Uncredited co-creator of Ballykissangel. Why doesn’t the UK have something like Saturday Night Live in America? All will be revealed. Seen bewildered on Taskmaster, terrified on Live at the Apollo, getting through Never Mind the Buzzcocks. More comfortable on pods but comes alive on stage, for one night only!

6 years since her last solo show, Bec Hill is finally back with a brand new hour! What has she been up to? You’ll have to come along to find out! As seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (the one with the flipcharts), and heard on A Problem Squared, Enemy in Paris, No Such Thing As a Fish, and Lateral with Tom Scott.

Multi award-winning writer, performer and actor Rob Auton brings his debut story to the Oxford Comedy Festival. Having written 11 critically acclaimed shows on specific themes, Rob Auton is now keen on telling you a story he has written about a man he made up called CAN. At one point in his life CAN was the world's number one motivational speaker... and then something happened.

'A genuine original' (Guardian).

'You will walk out feeling transformed. And fully alive' (Scotsman).

'Brilliant' (Stewart Lee).

'The mother freaking greatest' (James Acaster).

'A genius' (Bridget Christie).

The We Hate Movies Podcast is coming to the UK for the first time with an exclusive residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival. The WHM team will be doing six live episodes over the weekend of 18-20 July 2025, featuring performances of We Hate Movies, We Love Movies, Animation Damnation, The Gleep Glossary, and The Nexus. 

Sunday night, the boys show due deference to their host nation’s royal family with the 1991 comedy King Ralph, the Burger King-heavy, Slobs-Versus-Snobs comedy about a working class American jerk who becomes the King of England after a mishap accidentally kills the whole royal family. Who’s slumming it more: John Goodman? Peter O’Toole? John Hurt? Order up your Double Whopper with cheese and show up to find out. 

Since 2010, We Hate Movies has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the cinematic spectrum— from forgotten 80s actioners and insane romantic comedies from the 90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today.  

Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about, in all its positives and negatives. In the years since, they’ve also branched out into podcasts about the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place, Lifetime movies, and Saturday-morning cartoons. More recently, they’ve been hosting a weekly entertainment industry show, On-Screen Live, covering new releases and movie news, while also regularly doing live shows online and touring across America (and now the UK!) to perform for their fans. 

Important to note: These tickets are NOT covered by the Oxford Comedy Festival Full Festival Pass and must be purchased individually for each show.

Sunday, in their first live recording of The Nexus, the guys take on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Sub Rosa.” This is the most requested episode in Nexus history, and more infamously known as the episode where the Enterprise goes to Space Scotland and Doctor Crusher has sex with her grandmother’s ghost boyfriend. Season seven was a trip, man.

Saturday Night, the boys have such delicious sights to show you as they expound on their love for 1987’s Hellraiser, the original film featuring one of cinema’s greatest sewing–based monsters: Pinhead. Break out your skin-tight leather jumpsuits and come unlock this puzzle box of a movie with us.

Saturday, for their first ever live Gleep Glossary the boys take on maybe the biggest name in Star Wars: England’s own David Prowse! Which is to say, the character he embodied in the original trilogy: Darth Vader. From his early beginnings as a sand–hating little creep, to his final end as an overboiled hot dog in a robot suit, they’ll be going though his whole sorted history— some canon, some legend— for your amusement.

Friday night, get yourself a dry martini (or just a big glass of motor oil) in-hand for Quantum of Solace, as the boys examine the 2008 subpar Bond film. It’s a direct sequel to the astounding James Bond reboot Casino Royale, so how could one film flush that goodwill so hard? Take a break from your evil plan to redirect an entire country’s water supply to come to the show and find out!

Friday, we kick things off with an Animation Damnation episode about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon from the 90’s that’s set in England, specifically the sewers of Oxford, called “Elementary My Dear Turtles.” No doubt this is a respectful imagining of the enduring literary character, Sherlock Holmes, but with giant, radioactive turtles offering him pizza, or something. A modern-day cartoon classic!

Sharon Wanjohi is a queer British Kenyan comedian, who’s been making waves on the circuit with her take on the lack of Gen-Z homeowners and maybe too much material on the cartoons that inspired a generation of sexual awakenings.

As seen on Comedy Central Live. She has also written on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Late Night Lycett and The Jonathan Ross Show. She has provided tour support for Jessica Fostekew and Sarah Keyworth.

Internationally award-winning comedian Stuart Goldsmith presents an hour of new material.

Following three sell-out shows, Petts (Live at the Apollo, HIGNFY) returns to the Oxford Comedy Festival and she's delving where she's never delved before: this is a show about sex. The problem is that she blushes every time she says that word. From Page 3, to the time she was cast as a sex offender, to the not-niche-at-all phenomena of vagina dentata, join 'one of the most accomplished stand-ups working in the UK today' (Scotsman) for her most titillating hour yet.

'When it comes to comedy, Petts is very much Premier League' (Evening Standard).
