Ealing Comedy Festival will mark its 30th year this summer, with four nights of stand-up shows in the big top at Walpole Park from 24 July to 1 August. The event continues its tradition of bringing a wide mix of comedy performers to Ealing, hosting both long-time circuit favourites and first-time festival acts.
The 2025 edition features four nights of live comedy, with each evening offering a varied lineup. Opening night on Thursday 24 July there is a large-scale gala event, with performers including Judi Love, Andy Parsons, Sam Campbell, Jo Caulfield, Paul Sinha, Mark Watson and Stephen K Amos.
Rory Bremner, making his first appearance at the festival, will headline on Friday 25 July alongside Mark Steel and musical improv duo Abandoman. Grace Campbell is due to compère.
The festival resumes a week later on Thursday 31 July with a performance by ventriloquist Nina Conti, joined by Chris McCausland, Phil Wang and Justin Moorhouse. The final night closing gala on Friday 1 August brings together John Shuttleworth, Marcus Brigstocke, Seann Walsh, Sunil Patel, Ivo Graham, Scott Bennett and Michelle De Swarte, who also takes on MC duties.
