We are thrilled to announce that comedy legends Sara Pascoe and Sue Perkins will join our headliner line up this July, plus the new addition of Sing-Along with The Section, further cementing what is now the biggest comedy line up in our twenty-year history and the finest bill assembled outside of Edinburgh this summer.
In a summer of extraordinary comedy, two of Britain’s most beloved entertainers, Sir Lenny Henry and Sue Perkins, both make rare returns to stand-up after more than a decade away, making Latitude 2026 not just a festival but a genuine, once-in-a-generation occasion.
Sara and Sue join as headliners alongside previously announced Ross Noble, Jen Brister and Jack Dee, with comedy icon Sir Lenny Henry appearing as a very special guest in his only UK music festival performance of the year. Together, they form the most extraordinary collection of comedy talent ever to grace Henham Park.
Sara Pascoe headlines fresh from her biggest ever UK tour, I Am A Strange Gloop, a critically acclaimed sell-out run that included a date at the London Palladium. Her first tour since 2022, the show sees Sara navigating a new era: gone are the days of self-exploration via sexual safari, as she works out who she is between episodes of Peppa Pig. Hailed as ‘first-rate confessional comedy’ by The Times and ‘gloriously funny’ by the Evening Standard, Sara’s Latitude headline set arrives at the peak of her powers.
Sue Perkins brings her warmth, wit and brilliance to Henham Park. Currently touring her brand-new show The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins, her first live stand-up show in over a decade, Sue returns to the stage with a hilarious and searingly honest exploration of stigma, humiliation and the unlikely happenings of a career spent in the spotlight. Whether it’s what happens when your brain goes haywire on live TV, or how you turn intimate photos splashed across the internet into an act of dignity and joy, Sue proves herself as sharp, fearless and funny as ever. You may know her as Bake Off Sue, Just A Minute Sue, or the Sue that gives you travel envy, but stand-up Sue is full of surprises.
Sing-Along with The Section brings the brilliantly anarchic band, created by Taskmaster’s Alex Horne, to Henham Park for a joyous, audience-wide sing-along. With Alex himself not appearing, some of the biggest names from across the Latitude comedy bill will be stepping up in his place to join The Section on stage, and even some lucky members of the Latitude audience getting their moment in the spotlight too. Latitude’s sing-along promises all the warmth, chaos and unexpected delight that only The Section can deliver, and then some.
