Hampton Beach Comedy Festival 2025, Night 1

Opening night of the Hampton Beach Comedy Festival is Tuesday, August 12.

The Hampton Beach Comedy Festival will return for its 15th year on August 12-17, with 36 different comedians over six nights. The outdoor event takes place at Post 8, the back patio of McGuirk’s Ocean View, 95 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.

Showtime is 8 p.m. each night. Tickets are $20, available at HamptonBeachComedy.com. If space is available, tickets will also be sold for $25 at the door (cash only) on show nights. The patio will open for dinner at 6 p.m.

This is a 21-plus event.

Produced by Scamps Comedy Productions, the six-night Festival will feature different hosts and at least six comedians every night. This year’s lineup includes new faces and old favorites, including Tony V., Paul D’Angelo, Karen Morgan, Paul Nardizzi, Kelly MacFarland, Will Noonan, Carolyn Plummer, Dave Rattigan, Brian Glowacki, Mitch Stinson, Mike Donovan, Jeff Koen and more.

Lineups will be posted on the Hampton Beach Comedy Festival Website in late July, and are tentative. Because the shows are outdoors, the festival is weather dependent.

This is an outdoor event. In event of bad weather, show may be rained out.

Over the years, the festival has included nationally notable comedians including Juston McKinney and Jackie Flynn (Loudermilk). Quinn Nehr, a high schooler from the midwest, made his network debut as an actor in a sketch on Saturday Night Live in 2024. Newmarket resident McKinney frequently drops in for guest spots.
