May - August 2026
Community Benefit Society
Komedia Bath has been part of the city’s cultural fabric since 2008, and in 2019 we became one of the first UK venues to transfer into community ownership.
As a Community Benefit Society, we exist to serve our community, not to generate private profit, with our 227 Members each having a real say in how the venue is run.
This model keeps us rooted in Bath, accountable to our community, and focused on values that matter: keeping prices fair, nurturing new talent, supporting accessibility and inclusivity, collaborating with other local organisations, and protecting our venue for the long term.
Your feedback is always welcomeemail us at info@komediabath.co.uk

Irish folk star Lisa O’Neill brings her extraordinary voice to an intimate evening, while the comedy line-up speaks for itself with tour shows including Tom Stade, Michelle Wolf, and fresh from the new UK Saturday Night Live, Ania Magliano.
