Comedy

Hebden Bridge has form when it comes to comedy. Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont made their home here for years, turning the town and its neighbours into the backdrop for the mockumentary Meet the Richardsons — so the valley's already used to a punchline or two. These days you'll find touring stand-ups and newer acts at the Trades Club, and lower-key nights tucked into pubs and back rooms around town, including the Fox & Goose.

Comedy here ranges from headline sets and charity galas to open-mic nights where someone's trying out their first five minutes. Browse what's coming up below, and if you're putting on a night of your own, add it to the calendar.
