Olaf Falafel's Stupidest Super Stupid Show
A silly, comedic family show featuring the character Olaf Falafel and plenty of playful slapstick. It is aimed at children and parents looking for an easy, fun afternoon or evening out.
What the show is and who it suits
Olaf Falafel's Stupidest Super Stupid Show is a family comedy hour from the stand-up comedian, illustrator and children's author Olaf Falafel. Harrogate Theatre lists it as part of Harrogate Comedy Festival 2026. The listing describes a mix of jokes, silly characters and a live drawalong, and the show is recommended for all ages. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and the theatre notes concessions for under-16s.
Date and time
There is one performance, on Saturday 10 October 2026, starting at 1:00pm at Harrogate Theatre on Oxford Street. The show runs for 60 minutes, so most families will be out by early afternoon with the rest of the day free. Tickets are sold through the theatre box office. You can book on the theatre's event page, phone 01423 502116 or email bookings@harrogatetheatre.co.uk. Check the page for current availability and prices, as these can change.
For visitors and families
This is a public show rather than a trade event, so there is nothing to register for beyond buying a ticket. If you are travelling in with children, a lunchtime start means you can arrive in the morning, settle in and have a relaxed lunch before the performance. Our apartments and townhouses suit this well. A kitchen and separate living space are useful when you are travelling with a family, and you can keep snacks, early starts and nap times on your own schedule. Many of our properties are within walking distance of the town centre, so the theatre is easy to reach on foot.
Getting to Harrogate
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, and Leeds Bradford Airport is about 30 minutes by taxi. If you are driving, allow time to find parking in the centre on a festival weekend.
Booking early
The festival runs through the autumn, and Harrogate is busy on comedy weekends. Other shows are on in town on the same Saturday, so accommodation near the centre can go quickly. If you want to stay for the weekend or come back for another festival date, it is worth booking your rooms and tickets together. If you are reading this at short notice, contact us directly and we will tell you what is free.
After the show
Once the show is over, Harrogate has plenty to fill the afternoon and evening. Families can head for an early dinner in the town centre. Adults who have a babysitter or an older group may prefer an evening in the town's bars, or a session at the Turkish Baths. Staying with us means you can walk back to your own apartment or townhouse afterwards without having to plan a taxi.
