What's on in Harrogate
Harry Enfield and No Chums
Harry Enfield looks back on 40 years of comedy at Harrogate Convention Centre on Sunday 22 November 2026. He revives favourite characters, then takes audience questions. Starts 7.30pm; recommended 18+.
What the evening is
Harry Enfield and No Chums is a touring live show in which the sketch comedian looks back over 40 years in comedy. The listing says he will bring some of his best-known characters back to the stage, including Loadsamoney and Kevin the Teenager. The second half is given over to audience questions about how his work is made and what he is proudest of. It is also a chance to hear him on the familiar claim that he wouldn't be allowed to make his comedy today. The Harrogate date is in the Main Auditorium at Harrogate Convention Centre. It is part of a national tour promoted by Fane Productions, and Harrogate Theatre handles ticketing for this night.

Leeds Bradford Airport is about 30 minutes by taxi. If you are driving, the centre's parking page is worth a look before you set off, as a Sunday evening in late November is a popular night for events in town.
Book early
Other dates on this tour have already sold out, including London and Newcastle. If you are planning a trip to Harrogate around this show, it makes sense to secure tickets first and then sort out your accommodation. Rooms in the centre of town can be limited when there is a big event on.
Staying with us
Short Stay Harrogate is a family-run company with serviced apartments and townhouses in central Harrogate, many a short walk from the Convention Centre and the Royal Hall. An apartment suits a Sunday-night show well. You can have an early dinner, walk to the venue, and then return to your own kitchen and living space afterwards. Townhouses work for groups of friends or family travelling together, and you won't have to share a taxi home.
Before and after the show
With a 7.30pm start, there is time for dinner in town beforehand. Afterwards, Harrogate has plenty of bars within walking distance for a drink and a chat about your favourite characters. If you are staying over, Monday morning is a good time to visit the Turkish Baths. They are a short walk from the centre, and a good way to unwind before the journey home.
