The Cambridge Fringe Festival is back for 2025, with over 100 comedy acts performing across the second May Bank Holiday weekend (24th & 25th May) at four great venues in the city.

This year’s line-up features a host of TV regulars, festival favourites and exciting newcomers destined to be the next big thing. There will be something for everyone, with a diverse range of acts covering stand-up, sketch, clowning, musical comedy, improv and kids shows.

The Cambridge Fringe runs on a pay-what–you-want (PWYW) model where you can guarantee a seat for just £5.50. For those shows that are not sold out in advance, you can just turn up and provide a donation on the way out. All money goes straight to the acts.

Shows take place at The Portland Arms, Thirsty, The Boathouse and The Waterman, all of which are within a two-minute walk of each other in Mitcham's Corner.
