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)
