Our story

Dynnarghn to The Falmouth Cringe!

Too often, cultural happenings, exhibitions and touring shows don’t make it over the river Tamar into Cornwall. But in recent years, communities and organisers across the county have been joining together with various initiatives to bring Cornwall into the spot light, and show it as the vibrant and cultural centre it is.

We are a proud part of that movement. The Falmouth Cringe is the first comedy festival of its kind in the South West.  We held our inaugural festival in June 2022.

In 2022 O we brought 6 of the best venues in Falmouth together with 30 comedians and 1,293 people to have a giggle.

Last year in 2023, 2,339 ticket holders come to 32 shows across 7 venues over the 4 day festival.

This year, we’re bringing you more acts, more venues and plenty more laughs. As the Cornish would say, “any better and we couldn’t stand it.”

See you in July!
