Rik Mayall Comedy Festival 2027
4–12 June 2027
A volunteer-run festival in Droitwich Spa, centred on the Norbury Theatre, where Rik Mayall's parents staged plays and he first appeared on stage. Ticketed stand-up from well-known comedians sits on top of an open fringe in about thirty venues around the town, and a free pop-up museum looks back at his work. A not-for-profit community company runs it.
