Altitude Comedy Festival 2025 in Mayrhofen

Last updated on 11.03.2025

Altitude Comedy Festival returns to Mayrhofen, Austria slightly earlier in the ski season this year – taking place 24th-28th March 2025. The hills will be alive with the sound of laughter as an incredible mix of clowns are all set to clamber into the comedy cable car.

Altitude Comedy Festival brings together comedy fans and winter lovers for five days of laughter and stunning Alpine views. Set in the heart of Mayrhofen, this world-renowned festival combines top-tier comedy with breathtaking mountain landscapes, attracting both comedy legends and emerging talent.

With a mix of stand-up, improv, and hilarious performances, Altitude guarantees side-splitting moments and unforgettable memories. The diverse lineup ensures something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of sharp punchlines or spontaneous humour, all set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most scenic ski resorts.

If you don’t ski or board, snow problem! The resort offers some of the world’s best spas, restaurants, bars and views where you can fill your days before the evenings of comedy commence. There’s also a sled-load of activities such as paragliding, trekking, tobogganing and more which can keep you entertained if skiing or snowboarding just isn’t your thing. Many of Altitude’s performers and guests learn to ski for the first time during the festival, so if you did want to take a beginners ski or snowboard lesson you would never have to do so alone.

Line Up

There’s more award-winning acts on the line up having their debut year at the festival than ever before, including Jason Byrne, Tim Vine, Al Porter, Justin Moorhouse, Jessica Fostekew, Alan Allen, Phil Ellis, Henry Rowley, Dan Tiernan, Amy Matthews, Jules O’Brian, Adam Flood, Will Streetwise and Diederik Zuurmond.

Of course, there are familiar faces too with a flurry of Altitude veterans on the bill including festival co-founders Andrew Maxwell and Marcus Brigstocke, as well as Rufus Hound, Rainer Hersch, Mark Nelson, Kai Humphries, Karl Spain, the Original Silent Disco and the legendary International Impro All-Stars with Steve Frost, Steve Steen & Sally Hodgkiss.

“We’re so, so proud of our line up for 2025 though. We’ve got so many utterly brilliant new faces on the line up (some of whom I’ve been trying to get for years!). We’re beyond excited to witness them all experiencing the magic of the Tirolean Alps and the festival’s unique atmosphere for the first time. And we can’t wait for Altitude audiences to discover new favourite acts too.”
