Barcelona Fringe 2026: programme, venues and tickets

The short answer

The Barcelona Fringe Festival 2026 runs from Friday 6 to Sunday 15 November in Barcelona. Its own site lists over 300 shows in several languages. English dominates the listings we read.

Shows come in two kinds. Pay what you want shows are free to reserve, and you pay at the end what the show was worth to you. Ticketed shows have a fixed price, and the festival says they are likely to sell out.

The programme further down this page lists the shows day by day, with the room, the language and the price. It is read from the festival's calendar and the Clubhouse calendar each time we rebuild the site. Our own picks are in a separate post, Barcelona Comedy Fringe 2026: our picks.

Disclosure, because it matters here. John runs The Comedy Clubhouse and runs this festival too, and he is a friend of the person who owns this site. Two of the clubs we rank first are Clubhouse rooms. The six criteria in how we rate apply to every club, whoever runs it.

Dates, venues and getting there

The festival's venue list names eight places. They are The Clubhouse Laietana, The Comedy Clubhouse at Canvis Nous, Imprfcto at Parallel and at Poblenou, Mint Bar, Secret Comedy, Casino Barcelona and Space Cowboy.

Both Clubhouse rooms are in Ciutat Vella, and the Clubhouse FAQ puts them a two-minute walk apart, so one evening can use both. Our reviews of The Clubhouse: Laietana and The Comedy Clubhouse: Canvis Nous give the streets, the stairs and the access notes.

Casino Barcelona sits on Carrer de la Marina, numbers 19 to 21. Secret Comedy is a room in El Raval, at number 28 on Carrer de la Junta de Comerç. Mint Bar is on Passeig d'Isabel II, number 4. A street address for Imprfcto or Space Cowboy is not in our sources, so use the venue pages on the festival site. Plan the metro on TMB.

How tickets work

The festival sorts its shows into two lists on its site. Its menu offers those two lists, a programme download and a cart, and we found no single festival pass in it. Each show has its own booking page.

Pay what you want shows are booked as a free reservation. You pay at the end of the show, and the festival asks you to bring cash, because some international performers have no card reader. The list says these shows include work in progress and experimental acts.

Some pay what you want events also say that consumption is required. On Tap Comedy at Imprfcto Poblenou on Friday 6 November at 18:30 is one: it is a free reservation, and the page says a drink is required.

Ticketed shows have a fixed price. The festival calls them carefully selected, says they are likely to sell out and advises buying ahead. Fixed prices in the listings start below €5 and reach €24 online. Some shows list a door price a few euros higher.

Shows listed on the Clubhouse site are booked on the Clubhouse event page. According to the Clubhouse, a door sale is usually possible while seats last, and online tickets cost less. Entry is guaranteed only if you arrive on time. It refunds or swaps a ticket if you ask a day ahead, but it does not return booking fees.

Highlights

These picks come from our show scorecard. No one at this site has seen the shows yet. The one-off shows ranking and the Top 10 comedy shows explain how a score is built.

Irene Sango Live

A debut hour at Canvis Nous on opening night, 6 November, at 20:00. Online tickets cost €5, and the door costs €7. The Clubhouse page says she won the Gong Show at the London Comedy Store. The show returns at Mint Bar on 14 November.

Brexico

Andy Casper and Hector Ayala, two comedians from the Barcelona circuit, share the bill at Laietana on Tuesday 10 November, 20:00. Online tickets cost €10, and the door costs €12.

Best of The Fringe

The club describes this sampler as a selection of the festival's top acts. It has three dates. Casino Barcelona hosts it on 7 November at 20:00 for €15 online. Laietana hosts it on 10 and 13 November at 21:30 for €12 online.

Dead Parent Society

Chris Groves brings a solo hour about losing a parent to Secret Comedy on 6 November at 20:00. The event page says it follows a run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Tickets cost €5 online and €7 on the door. The subject is serious.

Gong Wild

A late gong show at Canvis Nous on 6 November at 23:00, with online tickets at €10. The club says that everyone who signs up gets a six-minute set.

For a free start, Canvis Nous lists Blinded by the Light on 7 November at 12:30, in English, at no charge. Laietana runs a family magic show, Abracadabra, at 11:00 on 7 and 8 November. The festival site lists it as pay what you want.

Planning a Fringe day

Most Fringe hours run 60 minutes, going by the start and end times on the Clubhouse event pages. That leaves room for two shows in one evening. On opening night, Canvis Nous can hold three, at 20:00, 21:30 and 23:00.

Eat before the late show. Laietana has a kitchen that the club says stays open after the shows, and Canvis Nous has no food. For a quiet start, take an afternoon hour at a Clubhouse room, then a ticketed show at night.

The usual weekly nights change during the festival. Some open mics pause, and Fringe acts take the Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday slots. Our November guide lists what moves, and what's on this week shows the next two weeks.

For two people, the date night guide suggests evenings with a price for each. For four or more, the group night out guide lists shows with a group price. Stairs are part of both rooms, so tell the club ahead if anyone needs help.

What this page cannot tell you

The festival says it has over 300 shows. The programme below lists what the two calendars show on the day of the last rebuild, which can be fewer. More days and rooms may appear as the festival adds them.

Prices and times are those on the pages when we read them. Shows sell out and move, so check the booking page. A pick on this site is a score, not a review. Last-minute changes reach the festival's own site first.
