“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 festival. This exciting event is set to take place from May 29 to May 31, 2026, in Manchester, and will feature performances from a variety of comedians, including the talented Harriet Kemsley.
Kemsley, known for her role as a contestant in the first series of the hit show Last One Laughing, hosted by Jimmy Carr, is expected to draw significant attention at the festival. The show, which premiered its new series on Prime Video in 2026, has already garnered a loyal following, especially after Bob Mortimer emerged as the champion of its inaugural season.
The A Lovely Weekend festival promises a packed schedule with around 20 shows over its three-day run, showcasing a diverse lineup of comedic talent. Tickets for the festival are currently on sale, indicating a strong interest from fans eager to experience live comedy in an intimate setting.
Harriet Kemsley’s participation in the festival is particularly noteworthy given her recent rise in popularity following her appearance on Last One Laughing. Her unique comedic style and engaging performances have made her a favorite among audiences, and her upcoming show is highly anticipated.
As the festival approaches, excitement is building not just for Kemsley’s performance but for the overall experience that A Lovely Weekend promises to deliver. The Fairfield Social Club, known for its vibrant atmosphere, will serve as the perfect backdrop for this celebration of comedy.
With the festival produced by A Lovely Time, it aims to create an enjoyable environment for both performers and attendees alike. The combination of Kemsley’s comedic prowess and the festival’s lively setting is expected to make for a memorable weekend.
As fans prepare for the event, they can look forward to a weekend filled with laughter and entertainment, marking a significant moment in the comedy calendar for 2026.
