Live entertainment in South Leicestershire reaches a new peak this Bank Holiday Saturday, 29th August 2026, as Comedy Comes to Narborough III returns with a powerhouse bill headlined by nationwide comedy icon Mike Gunn.
Described by The Independent as "one of the top ten stand-ups in the country," Mike Gunn brings decades of main-stage experience to Narborough. A regular at The Comedy Store, Gunn's extensive screen and stage credits include BBC One's Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Harry Hill's TV Burp, and tour support for Lee Mack, Jo Brand, and Alan Davies.
Following Gunn’s opening set, the showcase features a packed lineup of established circuit favorites and rising talents:
Danny Strachan
Rob James
David Walters
Donna Houghton
James Lillystone
Wendy King
Rejecting standard promotional gimmicks, organiser Chrislexia Ltd is keeping the local community event accessible and straightforward with a simple £5 ticket entry and a Bring Your Own Booze (BYOB) policy.
"After the incredible support for our last two shows and our recent kids' comedy festival showcase, we wanted to deliver our biggest night yet," says event host and organizer Chris Martin. "Bringing a comic of Mike Gunn’s caliber alongside a stacked supporting bill for just a fiver is all about giving local comedy fans a fantastic, unpretentious night out right on their doorstep."
