English Stand-Up Comedy in Madrid

If you want to laugh in English without subtitles, Madrid Comedy Festival is where to find it. The second edition, October 1 to 4, 2026, includes English-language sets every night of the run. Book your tickets and grab a seat.

Why English comedy in Madrid, specifically

Stand-up lives or dies on timing and language — a joke that kills in Spanish doesn’t always land the same way in English, and vice versa. MCF treats that as a feature, not a problem, giving English-language comedy its own real space alongside Spanish, French, and the rest of the lineup, rather than squeezing it into one token slot.

Who’s performing in English

Confirmed names so far include Itzi, who moves naturally between Spanish, English, and French on stage, and Hassan Fadoul, a comedian from Sudan who performs in Arabic, Spanish, and English. More English-language acts are being added as the 2026 lineup comes together — see the full comedian list for updates.

Where and when

Shows run across central Madrid venues, including Teatro Amaya and Aleatorio, October 1–4, 2026. Read more about the festival and the team behind it, then book your tickets before the English shows sell out — they did in 2025.
