Get ready to laugh your way through the city with the International Comedy Festival Barcelona - a meet-up of stand-up, improv, game-shows, mime, clown, spoken-word and unexpected comedy gems. Expect clever one-liners, sharp observations and international acts sharing the spotlight with Barcelona’s local talent.

Since its launch in 2008, the Comedy Festival has hosted some of the biggest names in stand-up, with performances spanning English, Castellano, Catalan, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, German, Russian, French and Finnish. Comedy heavyweights like Jason Byrne, Adam Hills, Michael McIntyre and Eddie Izzard have all graced its stages. While this year’s full line-up is still under wraps, expect a packed programme of sharp, daring, and brilliantly funny acts from across today’s comedy scene.

The festival is held at venues across the city and includes some hidden gems. Whether you’re a comedy lover or just in the mood for a good chuckle, it’s the perfect opportunity to gather friends, grab a drink, and let the laughter begin.
