Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events

Del S reviewed Ali Brice: This is the way we brush our teeth which happened on 4:00pm on Sun 7th Jun 2026.

Love the daring approach taken; eschewing reliance on a script for risky, crowd-focussed, anarchic fun. Feels like each show is completely unique

Claire W reviewed Sam Nicoresti: Baby Doomer which happened on 4:15pm on Sun 7th Jun 2026.

The lighting was a tad distracting and made it difficult to see the comedian. However, the bar staff were excellent! The comedian herself was very amusing and my favourite show of the festival that I attended, I attended 5 shows.
