After hilarity-filled weekends at Warwick and Lancaster, Comedy at the Castle heads to Powderham Castle this weekend for the third and final stop of its 2026 tour, with final tickets now remaining.

From Friday 17th to Sunday 19th July, the spectacular Devon setting will once again play host to three nights of open-air comedy, as one of the UK's fastest-growing comedy festivals rounds off another summer of castle takeovers with a stacked lineup of headline talent.

Friday sees Joanne McNally joined by Hal Cruttenden, Janine Harouni and Sandro Ford, before Paul Smith headlines Saturday alongside Matt Richardson, Eshaan Akbar and Gbemi Oladipo. Bringing the curtain down on the weekend is Al Murray, supported by Hayley Ellis, Scott Bennett and Thomas Green, with Freddy Quinne hosting across all three nights.

If the first two were anything to go by, this is going to be a belly-shaking evening in one of UK comedy's finest settings. Only a few tickets remaining; grab them at the bottom of this page!

Following another successful year of Closeup Comedy bringing stand-up to some of the UK's most spectacular historic venues, Powderham Castle marks the final chance to experience Comedy at the Castle in 2026. Alongside the comedy, festivalgoers can expect award-winning street food, cocktails, craft beer, fizz bars and high-end production, making it as much a summer day out as it is a night of stand-up.

Whether you're heading down for Joanne McNally's razor-sharp wit, Paul Smith's crowd work or Al Murray's iconic Pub Landlord, this final stop promises a fitting finale to this year's Comedy at the Castle series.
