Tokyo Comedy Bar and Baird Brewing are proud to present the 3rd Tokyo International Comedy Festival (TICF), taking place September 17–27, 2026 across multiple venues in Tokyo. Now in its third year, TICF has become East Asia's largest stand-up comedy festival, bringing together comedians and audiences from around the world. The 2026 festival will feature its biggest-ever lineup, with expanded Japanese-language programming, competitions, workshops, podcasts, and special events.

 

Baird Brewing returns as title sponsor and will once again release a limited-edition festival beer exclusively for the festival. With performances ranging from intimate club shows to larger theatre events, TICF celebrates the continued growth of stand-up comedy in Japan.
