There have been some questions concerning what the Croydon Comedy Festival is. Well, it's all very relaxed and flexible but anything comedic happening in the borough could be included. There is a focus on a series of shows in the summer (so far this has been during June and July) but the Festival has spread from an annual event to an ongoing promotional tool. I hope that clears things up but I fear it may create further confusion!
Croydon Comedy Festival : Special Features! are taking place over the next few months. Keep an eye on this website and join the mailing list to hear about these shows.
The Croydon Comedy Festival ran in 2015, 2016 and 2017 in various venues around the borough and featured stand-up, sketch, theatre, film and all-age events.
