The Cambridge Footlights International Tour Show 2026
Lantern Theatre, Brighton, BN2 1PA
Thursday 10th September 2026
Join The Cambridge Footlights for their 2026 Tour Show: Prize Cow (For My Best Son).
Boasting far fewer actual cows but far more student comedians than the average county fair, this hour of zany sketches guarantees a night of
hilarity in signature Footlights style. Watch these five prize cows of the Cambridge comedy scene in a vaudeville-esque mashup of surreal vignettes, celebrity impressions, and the odd song or two.
Come see “The most renowned sketch troupe of them all” (The Independent) as they head to Brighton, fresh from the greener pastures of their Edinburgh Fringe run.
Established in 1883, The Cambridge Footlights have a rich history of nurturing comedic talent and have served as a launching pad for some of the UK's most successful artists. Alumni of the Footlights include renowned names such as John Oliver, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Richard Ayoade, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Phil Wang, and Hugh Laurie.
