Terry's Take

Comedy Across Southport's Pubs. It Works

Southport has a genuine comedy scene, the Comedy Festival in October draws serious acts to a heated marquee at Victoria Park. The pub crawl format is a different thing: more informal, more unpredictable, and in some ways more fun because of it. You are moving between venues rather than sitting in one place all night.

The mystery route element is part of the appeal. You do not know exactly where you are going until you get there. Southport has the pubs to make this work, enough variety in the town centre to keep it interesting over an evening. The comedy itself ranges from local acts to touring stand-ups depending on the event.

Buy tickets in advance. These events sell out. And eat before you go, it is a long evening and pub food on a crawl is hit and miss. Southport Market or any of the Lord Street restaurants are your best options for a pre-event meal.

Which pubs are on the Comedy Pub Crawl route?

The specific route varies each time and is often kept as a surprise until the event night or announced close to the date. Southport town centre has a good selection of comedy-friendly venues, expect a mix of larger bars and smaller pub-style venues.

Where should I eat before the Comedy Pub Crawl?
