Plymouth Comedy Tours: Indoors | Plymouth Comedy Festival: Barbican Theatre

Plymouth Comedy Tours bring their unique take on Britain’s Ocean City indoors at the Auditorium at Barbican Theatre. Suzy Bennett, David Arnold and Christian Russell-Pollock swap the walking route for the stage, bringing local stories, questionable facts and plenty of Plymouth silliness to the festival. Due to popular demand, Plymouth’s favourite (only) comedy walking tour is going back indoors! Join three multi-award winning comedians for an evening of stand-up and silliness as they explore the lighter side of life in Britain’s Ocean City. It’s daft, funny and not to be missed. In 2021, three Plymouth comedians were forced out of work by the pandemic. In an attempt to stay sane and put spicy spuds on the table they banded together to create Plymouth Comedy Tours. A walking tour company with the difference where they took groups around the city, telling jokes rather than facts. Three years on Plymouth Comedy Tours have welcomed over 1000 guests, been given over 150 five-star Tripadvisor reviews and has been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row as a cultural highlight in the city. Now, they have decided to bring the PCT magic indoors! After two sell out shows in November 2024, our three comics will return to the stage at the Barbican Theatre to explore a different side of Plymouth. Laughing at the good, bad and ugly of our underrated seaside city. Discover more about the ‘Real Plymouth’. Find out about life in the city, exploring Plymouth traditions, the way of life and the people who live here. Expect jokes, questionable ‘facts’ and plenty of mentions of the ‘Private Shop’. The three comics involved are Suzy Bennett, David Arnold and Christian Russell-Pollock. All three comics perform nationwide, have won a host of comedy awards and have supported some of the UK’s biggest comedy names. “Belongs on everyone’s bucket list” Plymouth Live “Delightful” Metro “An absolute delight” BBC Radio Devon This performance is part of Plymouth Comedy Festival, taking place across the city from 5 to 7 February 2027.
