Information - The Anglia Comedy Allstars May 2026

Looking for a night of non-stop laughs right in the heart of our town? We have some fantastic news for comedy fans! The Anglia Comedy Allstars is returning to the Ipswich Corn Exchange this May, and they are bringing an absolutely stellar line-up with them.

Whether you’re a fan of surreal one-liners, relatable storytelling, or rising stars of the screen, this show has something for everyone. It’s the perfect excuse to grab some friends, head into town, and enjoy some world-class entertainment.

The Master of the One-Liner: Milton Jones

You’ll know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, and his hilarious appearances on Radio 4—not to mention his iconic collection of loud shirts! Milton Jones is a true master of the “gloriously daft.”

At this show, Milton reveals the “truth” about his past life as an international spy, before he was forced into a new identity as a famous comedian. As The Guardian says, “No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride.” Prepare for quick-fire wit and absolute nonsense at its very best.

The Multi-Talented Jayde Adams

We are so excited to welcome Jayde Adams to the Ipswich stage. A multi-award-winning comedian and a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing, Jayde is a household name for a reason.

Beyond the ballroom, she’s the star of the ITV sitcom Ruby Speaking, the BAFTA-winning Alma’s Not Normal, and even the Take That movie Greatest Days. With a five-star reputation for being “brimming with funny gags,” her performance is guaranteed to be a highlight of the night.

Internet Sensation Jack Skipper

Going from a carpet fitter to an internet sensation, Jack Skipper has taken the comedy world by storm. With over 14 million likes on TikTok and a massive following on Instagram, Jack’s “everyday guy” persona and observations on working-class life have made him a firm favourite across the UK.

If you haven’t seen his hilarious videos online yet, you’re in for a treat. He has a delivery that truly “commands the room,” and his transition to full-time comedy has been nothing short of spectacular.

The Critical Acclaimed Jacob Hawley

Rounding out this incredible bill is Jacob Hawley. Known as a fresh and brilliant new voice in comedy, Jacob is the host of the hit Screen Rot podcast and a regular on Talk Sport. You might have also spotted him on The Russell Howard Hour. He’s been described as a “down-to-earth talent who’s got it in spades,” making him the perfect addition to this stacked line-up.
