Comedy Club 4 Kids (Aberdeen Comedy Festival

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children and their families… but without the rude bits! It’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like “why is that your face!?”“Comedy Club 4 Kids has been a highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy, with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club.

Past line-ups have included Stewart Lee, Jason Byrne, David O’Doherty and Adam Hills, and it’s always interesting to see how comics adapt their material for kids, and to see those who can get a laugh without falling back on the toilet jokes. (Some do look quite lost when they realise they can’t swear at hecklers.)” – The GuardianAudiences may have already seen Comedy Club 4 Kids at one of the regular gigs we run for all aged 6+, at venues including Bedford Quarry, Brighton Komedia, Finsbury Park’s Park Theatre and the artsdepot in Finchley.

Folk may also have seen us at music festivals like Camp Bestival, Latitude and Larmer Tree, if not at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

They might also know us from our Radio Nonsense podcast, hosted by CC4K regular Tiernan Douieb, in which he and a guest try to answer listeners’ bananas questions.

In August 2025, we won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, for embodying the true ‘spirit of the Fringe.’“The ethos is just right.” ★★★★ – The Daily Telegraph “All in all this show was great.

Nobody will feel left out.” ★★★★ – The Scotsman “Go see this show and you’ll have sore cheeks from laughing.” ★★★★★ – Fest magazineAge guidance 6+1 hour
