About this Event
The finale of the Hampton Beach Comedy Festival is Sunday, August 23.
The Hampton Beach Comedy Festival will celebrate its 16th year on August 18-23, with more than 30 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.

Second, shows wil start and end earlier in 2026. Finally, the theme this year is "Best of the Hampton Beach Comedy Festival" with top headliners including some of the festival's most popular comedians over 16 years.
