We are partnering with Sandford Orchards to Paint the Town Devon Red!

So many of our venues stock Devon Red and Red Zero- help them thrive throughout the festival by ordering drinks before and after shows and drinking responsibly or enjoying alcohol free options 🤪

It wouldn’t be a South West comedy festival without a South West Cider - we are so happy to be partnering with another Devon proud independent business. Find out more about ❤️

Huge thank you to The Generator for sponsoring us this year ❤️

As an independent co-working space right between two of our Quayside venues, they’ve been part of the festival from the very beginning. We had our very first poster design brainstorm there with logo designer and graphic designer Dan Gruitt.

We’re so pleased to be supported by a local independent business that also believes in creativity and other independent projects in the community.

Things are selling VERY quickly 👀

Sold out shows are stacking up already, with more close behind…

But with 100+ events across the festival, there’s still loads to discover, including more chances to catch some of your favourite acts elsewhere in the programme.

If there’s something on your list, now’s probably the time to book.
