Rik Mayall Comedy Festival

Expanding for its second year, this town-wide celebration alternative comedy features a riotous programme of stand-up, music, sketches, workshops and theatre.

From the Norbury Theatre, where Rik made his very first stage appearances, to local pubs, cafes, and even the Pamala May community boat, the spirit of Rik Mayall will be everywhere. This year’s highlights include:

• Catch headliners like Alexei Sayle (in conversation with Robin Ince), Nigel Planer and Phil Ellis, alongside Harriet Kemsley, Tiff Stevenson, and Nick Helm.
• Don't miss the "Talking Bottom" live shows, the Mayall Trail throughout the town, and a special photography exhibition by Andy Hollingworth featuring rare shots from The Young Ones era.
• With over 200 performances across 20 venues, experience everything from previews to late-night comedy, as well as a new outdoor stage and High Street takeover on Saturday 30 May.
• The festival stays true to Rik's anarchic energy with youth workshops and showcases for emerging young comedians.

Whether you're a lifelong fan of Bottom and The Young Ones or just looking for a day out and a  laugh, join us in Droitwich Spa for a festival that is loud, proud, and completely unpredictable
