Comedy Shows in Madrid: October 1–4, 2026

Madrid Comedy Festival is back for its second edition, October 1 to 4, 2026 — four nights of stand-up across some of the city’s best comedy venues, performed by people who actually live here. Book your tickets now before the good seats go, or keep reading to see who’s on stage.

What’s different about MCF

This isn’t a touring package dropped into the city for a weekend. MCF was created by Mehdi Mahtaj and Dzimis “The Greek Dzinious,” two international comedians living in Madrid who thought the city — one of the most cosmopolitan in Europe — deserved a comedy festival that actually reflects it. In 2026, that means around 70 comedians from 25+ nationalities, performing in 7 languages, across venues including Teatro Amaya and Aleatorio.

A track record worth trusting

The first edition, in October 2025, sold out completely — every show, 2,200+ people through the doors. The second edition is bigger, and the energy is the same.

Who’s performing

Lineup highlights include Itzi, who moves fluidly between Spanish, English, and French; Hassan Fadoul, performing in Arabic, Spanish, and English; Simon Palomares, bringing his show “Australiano de Vallecas” in Spanish; and Charlie, debuting his new show “The Generous Abroad.” Read more about the full comedian lineup and the story behind the festival.
