Oxford Festival Fringe preview Comedy Festival

The UK’s most awkwardly named comedy festival, since 2018.

The Oxford Festival Fringe Preview Comedy Festival (Oxford Comedy Festival for short) is a month-long comedy festival happening throughout July created and curated by QED Comedy Lab. We bring the best comedians headed to Edinburgh and other large festivals to the Oxford community. We have a particular interest in amplifying traditionally underrepresented voices, such as women, global majority, and LGBT+ comedians, as well as giving a stage to more experimental shows. Our ultimate goal is to bring the talent we love to our home town to share with as many people as possible - and this year we have over 50 amazing shows planned. We hope that you will join us!
