So here we are, year 3 of Happyness Inverness Comedy Festival! The Happyness Team are delighted to be back with a stellar line up. There is a distinct Celtic feel to this year’s Festival with the biggest Irish comedians joining the best acts on the national comedy circuit, not to mention amazing home grown Scottish talent. Inverness has stolen the hearts of the comedians who have been part of Happyness over the last few years and we can’t keep them away!

There is something for everyone at Happyness. You will be “lost for words”, literally, by the magical Boy with Tape on his Face. Enjoy the Irish wit of Tommy Tiernan, mad antics of Jason Byrne, the very funny TV presenter Patrick Kielty and the weird world of Sean Hughes.

Patrick Monahan and Bec Hill will keep the kids entertained with comedy especially for them with a little help from the lovely Frehd the Clown.

We have a show called Pun Run which has comics trying to out pun each other with the unstoppable Bec Hill hosting.

There is also something for the sports minded in our Funny Footy series. Can Happyness Comics make it 3-0 against the Inverness Caley Thistle Legends team? Come and see.

This year sees the return of Class Clowns, a competition aimed at unleashing the funny in High school children right across the Highlands. Last years’ winner, Peter Dingwall, had a great time during his VIP trip to Gilded Balloon during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Happyness will also feature a showcase of So You Think You’re Funny? the ‘grown up’ version of the competition, which Peter has aspirations of entering one day.

We are having our late night Festival club in IG:LU this year, come and hang out with your favourite comics.

Last year we introduced a Festival pass which was very popular. Go get your pass now!

Look forward to seeing you all and having a laugh together!
