The programme mixes established headliners, emerging comedians and live podcast recordings. Announced names include Joe Lycett, Katherine Ryan, Sam Campbell, Ed Gamble, Sara Pascoe, Vittorio Angelone, Kristen Schaal, Jack Rooke, Adam Buxton and Alexei Sayle.

Shows run on different dates and have separate prices, running times and age guidance. Open the individual event page before purchasing.

How do the £5 tickets work?

The Roundhouse says hundreds of £5 tickets are being offered across the programme to visitors aged 30 or under. They are limited and some popular performances may sell out early. You may be asked for proof of age, and the offer does not mean every seat or every performance costs £5.

Check the final checkout total because the venue may add booking fees or a restoration levy. The individual show page gives the applicable charges before purchase.

Getting there

Chalk Farm is the nearest Underground station. The Roundhouse is a short walk away on Chalk Farm Road. Camden Town is also within walking distance but is usually busier.
