Several free comedy nights run at The Bell Inn, Walcot Street (open mic, most Sundays) and at community halls on Saturdays — check listings for the current week. You can attend a full evening of live comedy in Bath for under £15, including a pint.

Is Komedia Bath a good comedy venue?

Komedia Bath is a solid mid-size comedy venue — 450-seat capacity, good sight-lines, a proper raked floor, and an in-house bar. It regularly hosts national touring acts before or after London runs. The Friday club night and Saturday late show both showcase a mix of established circuit acts and emerging talent. It is not the Comedy Store, but it is consistently booked well.

Are there comedy nights in Bath on a Sunday?

The Bell Inn on Walcot Street runs an informal comedy warm-up on Sunday evenings from around 6pm — free entry, pub setting, a mix of open mic and semi-regular acts. It is a relaxed option compared to Komedia. Check The Bell's Facebook page for the exact listing before going, as the format varies. The Rondo occasionally runs Sunday matinee comedy, particularly during fringe seasons.

Does Bath have an annual comedy festival?

Bath Fringe Festival (annually, May) includes a significant comedy strand across multiple venues including Komedia, the Rondo, and outdoor locations in Parade Gardens. The fringe runs for approximately three weeks with daily comedy shows, most ticketed at £8–£12. It is one of the largest arts fringe festivals outside Edinburgh and Bristol.
