Budapest Stand Up Festival 2026


Stand-Up Europe Comedy Festival returns to Budapest from September 10–13 for four days dedicated to stand-up comedy, creativity, and community.

Whether you're performing for the first time or already a seasoned comic, the festival offers the perfect opportunity to develop your material, perform on stage, and connect with comedians from across Europe.

This year's special guest is Judy Carter, the legendary author of The Comedy Bible and one of the world's most respected comedy teachers. In her interactive workshop, Judy will help you discover your unique comedic voice, transform personal experiences into original material, and strengthen your performance through practical exercises and live feedback. On September 13, participants can also book exclusive one-on-one feedback and career coaching sessions with Judy.

Your festival pass includes access to:

  • Interactive comedy workshops

  • Open Mic performances for all participants

  • Roast Battle

  • Gong Show

  • Networking with comedians from across Europe

  • Afterparties, social events, and late-night hangs

The festival is open to comedians of all experience levels—from complete beginners to experienced performers looking to sharpen their act and meet the European comedy community.

Participation fee: €50

Thanks to the Erasmus+ program, selected participants may also receive a shared hotel room and up to €100 travel reimbursement, based on program eligibility criteria.
