“With around 20 shows over the course of three days, we can’t wait to pack out Fairfield Social Club with comedy fans for a heck of a lovely time and speaking personally, my favourite weekend of the year,” said John Stansfield, producer of the A Lovely Weekend comedy festival.
Set to take place from May 29 to May 31, 2026, the festival will feature a diverse lineup of performances, including a show by comedian Harriet Kemsley. Kemsley, known for her participation in the first series of the popular show Last One Laughing, is expected to draw a significant crowd.
The A Lovely Weekend festival will be held at the Fairfield Social Club in Manchester, a venue that has become synonymous with vibrant entertainment and community events. The festival promises to deliver a packed schedule with around 20 shows over its three-day run.
Last One Laughing, which is hosted by Jimmy Carr, has gained popularity since its adaptation from the Japanese series Documental. Kemsley’s involvement in the show has contributed to her rising profile in the comedy scene.
The new series of Last One Laughing premiered on Prime Video in 2026, further showcasing the talents of its contestants, including Kemsley. Bob Mortimer, the champion of the first series, set a high standard for future participants.
Tickets for the A Lovely Weekend festival are currently on sale, allowing fans to secure their spots for what is anticipated to be a memorable event. The festival is produced by A Lovely Time, a company known for organizing engaging and enjoyable experiences.
As the festival approaches, excitement is building among comedy enthusiasts who look forward to a weekend filled with laughter and entertainment. The combination of established and emerging comedians promises a dynamic atmosphere.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional surprises or special guests that may appear during the festival, but the lineup already suggests a weekend not to be missed.
