The Balham Free Comedy Fringe

The Balham Free Fringe festival returns to The Bedford pub for its 7th consecutive year, with over 60 hours of free comedy across 3 stages. From stand-up to sketch, from new acts to TV names, we’ve got something to match every comedy taste. All shows are non-ticketed, and totally free entry. Just turn up! Last year almost every single show was at full capacity, so we highly recommend getting there early to get a seat. WHO IS ON OVER THE WEEKEND? The mighty TREVOR LOCK! Friday Night Dinner’s TOM ROSENTHAL! Edinburgh Comedy Best Newcomer award winner SOFIE HAGEN! Musical comedy titans JONNY & THE BAPTISTS! Vegan transvestite metal powerhouse ANDREW O’NEILL!
