Maisie Adam: Whatsherface
A stand-up show from comedian Maisie Adam, known for lively, character-driven storytelling. It is part of the Harrogate Comedy Festival and is a good pick for a Sunday night laugh.
What the show is and who goes
Maisie Adam: Whatsherface is a stand-up comedy show by Maisie Adam, who grew up in Pannal and went to school in Harrogate. The show is part of her 2026 UK and Ireland tour, which began in Belfast in September. It comes to Harrogate Theatre on Oxford Street for two performances in one day. It is a public, ticketed event, and the theatre recommends it for ages 16 and over. The Harrogate Advertiser lists it as part of Harrogate Comedy Festival.
Dates and times
Both performances are on Sunday 11 October 2026. The matinee starts at 3pm and the evening show at 7.30pm. The theatre lists tickets at £28 to £112, and the top price is for a box that seats four. Boxes may have a restricted view. The tour is presented by Mick Perrin Worldwide in association with PBJ Management.
Tickets and visitors
Tickets are sold through Harrogate Theatre, either via the event page or by phone on 01423 502116. We could not confirm how many seats are left for either performance, so please check with the box office before you plan your trip. Anyone travelling for the matinee may like to arrive the evening before. Anyone coming for the evening show can make a full day of it and still get a proper night's sleep close to the theatre.
Getting there
Harrogate railway station is about a 10-minute walk from the Convention Centre. LNER runs direct trains to London King's Cross roughly once an hour. Leeds is about 35 minutes away by train. Leeds Bradford Airport is about 30 minutes away by taxi. Harrogate's centre is compact, so most visitors walk between the station, the theatre and their accommodation.
Staying with us
Short Stay Harrogate is a local, family-run company. We have serviced apartments and townhouses across the centre of town, and many are a short walk from the Convention Centre and the Royal Hall. A self-catering base suits a two-show day, because you can drop your bags, make a hot drink between the matinee and dinner, or keep the kitchen for a late supper. Townhouses work well for groups travelling together, and apartments suit couples or small parties.
Book early
Sunday nights in October can be busy when a popular act is in town, and the show comes during Harrogate Comedy Festival, so central rooms may go quickly. If you have not yet booked somewhere to stay, do it soon after you have your tickets. Many visitors also stay on through Monday morning rather than rushing back.
After the show
Harrogate has plenty of choice for dinner before or after the performance, from relaxed bistros to restaurants that take larger groups. Booking a table is sensible on a festival weekend. The town's bars and pubs are an easy walk from the theatre if you want a drink afterwards. If you are staying on into Monday, the Turkish Baths offer a relaxed way to start the day before travelling home.
