TweetQuackers: The Aviary Comedy Fringe 2026
Celebrate three years of live comedy at The Aviary with a brand new five-day comedy festival this June.
The Aviary Comedy Fringe brings together a diverse lineup of performers for a series of solo shows, showcasing everything from rising stars to seasoned acts. Known for its intimate atmosphere and lively crowds, The Aviary has quickly built a reputation as one of Preston’s go-to spots for live comedy — and this special Fringe programme is set to be its biggest event yet.
Across five days, audiences can enjoy a packed schedule of stand-up, with multiple shows each evening and a variety of comedic styles on offer.
Alongside the Fringe lineup, The Aviary’s popular flagship comedy night will also take place on the Thursday, continuing its regular slot as a highlight of the local comedy calendar.
Whether you’re a regular or discovering The Aviary for the first time, this is a perfect chance to experience live comedy up close in a welcoming and vibrant setting.
