If the country of England were shaped like a skeleton, there is an excellent chance that you would find the funny bone somewhere in the North-West. Cities such as Liverpool and Manchester are famous for producing legendary comedians; icons of the stand-up stage such as Ken Dodd, Peter Kay, and Victoria Wood. The North-West is also a hotbed when it comes to regularly hosting stand-up comedy shows, and there are some first-class funnymen and women heading to our region this February.
We start off with someone who is famous for his comedy, but who has become just as well-known for his ballroom dancing, and that is Strictly Come Dancing champion, Chris McCausland. The Liverpudlian is a man of many talents, and while we appreciate his fancy footwork, we absolutely love his ability to make us laugh. Chris is coming to Pyramid and Parr Hall in Warrington on Wednesday 18 February 2026.
Another major show on the horizon comes to Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre, a historic venue which reopened in 2025 to the delight of theatre fans everywhere. Amongst its upcoming offerings is a stand-up performance from Crissy Rock, a legend of the small scene and the stage. Crissy has a unique style that brings the house down every night, and she always leaves audiences wanting more. Crissy brings her show From Bedlam To Benidorm to the Epstein Theatre on Saturday 7 February 2026.
Our final top recommendation takes us to Stockport, and to a show involving one of Manchester’s most beloved comedians of the 21st century. Jason Manford has a friendly personality and a charm that combine with his sharp wit and diverse range of talents to deliver a performance unlike any other in stand-up comedy. Jason brings his show A Manford All Seasons to Stockport Plaza on Friday 13 February 2026.
If you plan to attend these or any other stand-up comedy shows, make sure to speak to our team. We can provide accommodation of the highest standard as well as transportation to and from your chosen venue, not to mention a peaceful environment to calm you down ahead of anight of endless laughter.
