At Boom Studios · 80 Main Street, Bangor, Co. Down
ANARCHOMEDY is a free live comedy and variety night at Boom Studios in Bangor, with its next date on Saturday 15 August 2026. The bill opens with a run of stand-up comedians before the sketch troupe Past The Label take over for a brand new hour of original sketch material. The organisers describe it as “Bangor’s best live comedy, variety, fever dream night out,” and the whole show runs for around two and a half hours. It is a lower-key, free alternative to the town’s ticketed comedy nights, aimed at a local crowd rather than touring headline acts, and gives a platform to newer stand-up performers alongside the sketch performers who run the night.
Boom Studios is on Main Street in Bangor town centre, a short walk uphill from the seafront and Bangor railway station on the Belfast to Bangor Translink line. On-street parking and nearby town centre car parks serve the venue, and the location is close to Bangor’s other bars and restaurants for anyone making a night of it.
Because it is free and the doors open early at 7:30pm, ANARCHOMEDY works well as a casual add-on to an evening in Bangor rather than a night built entirely around it. Main Street sits a short walk from the seafront and marina, so there is time for a stroll along the harbour beforehand. There is more to see and do in Bangor and across Co. Down.
