CITY 2023

A VIRTUAL EVENING OF STAND-UP

ahh.jpg

Comedy in Oxford, of course, extends beyond that associated with the universities! The Oxford Comedy Festival acts as a prestigious July prelude for the Edinburgh Fringe, while venues across the city, from the James Street and Jericho Taverns, to Tap Social Movement, to the Old Fire Station, host a variety of new and established voices.

​

Please enjoy this 'virtual stand-up night' - a selection of routines from comics who work or have worked around Oxford. Some were recorded especially throughout July 2023, while others were kindly donated to the collection.
