BANBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL 2026: Indian Stand-Up Comedy Show – Freemasons Hall – 7:45PM (1hr)

Price range: £5.00 through £10.00

Overstimulated: Indian Stand-Up Comedy Show

Remember the last time you were bored? Yeah, neither do we. We are listening to a podcast while writing this. Fresh off a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Atharva Pharande and Rohil Bhanot bring Overstimulated to Banbury for an hour of sharp stand-up from comedians who have been paying far too much attention. Just very good comedy from Indians who moved to London and have had a lot of thoughts about it since. Featuring Atharva Pharande (tour support for Kanan Gill, BBC New Comedy Award shortlist, British Comedy Guide Pro Award finalist) and Rohil Bhanot (SYTYF semi-finalist, Beat the Frog winner), joined by a surprise act.
Banbury will host its very first Stand-Up Comedy Festival, starting November 14th! An entire day filled with Stand Up Comedy shows, kids shows & even a Spanish-speaking show! Taking place in five distinctive performance venues in the town—The Apothecary Tap, Lock 29, The Mill Arts Centre, Freemasons Hall & The Village Butty (a canal boat!)—the festival will feature a curated lineup of comedians, including rising talents & brilliant comics from the UK comedy circuit. If you’re a dedicated comedy aficionado or just looking for a fun day out, this one-day event offers something to everyone. We’re proud to support our independent arts community by making live shows accessible to everyone and bringing people together to discover new talent and great performances. All shows are free to attend, with seats available to reserve in advance on a Pay What You Want basis. Spaces are limited, and once a show reaches capacity, we can’t admit any more guests — so we encourage you to book ahead where possible. Enjoyed the show? Donations are warmly welcomed and help us continue supporting artists and keeping live performance accessible to all. FREEMASONS HALL Marlborough Rd Banbury Oxfordshire OX16 8DB info@rocktheatic.com

BANBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL 2026: LJ DA FUNK – VILLAGE BUTTY – 5:30PM (1hr)

Price range: £0.00 through £7.50

LJ DA FUNK in... BreXit : LJ Da Funk

That's BreXit with a capital X because its been 10 (X) years since 52% of Britons put an X (X) in the wrong boX.

10 years and nothing has changed. Farage is still parading his unsightly smirking cum-face around the British seaside. The pound is still worth less than those tokens people put in shopping trolleys because they don't want to use a pound. And still there ain't no party like an S Club Party.

Join Banbury legend LJ DA FUNK as he brings his classic 2016 Brexit show to Banbury for one night only. It's the exact same show with the exact same jokes because after 10 whole years, we are still in the same sinking ship. Laugh or cry, the choice is yours.

"There's a fine line between genius and insanity. LJ DA FUNK has crossed that line and kicked it to death" (The List)

"Relished every minute of it, an infectiously enjoyable quality." Steve Bennett (Chortle)
