The Buffoonery is back


Book your tickets
Stewart Lee. Marcus Brigstocke. Marty Gleeson. Chloe Petts. Alexandra Haddow. Elliot Steel.

Six comedians. One night at Leicester Square Theatre. And one very good reason to get your friends together.

Marty Gleeson arrives fresh from winning the 2026 Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer, while Chloe Petts is currently starring in the new series of Channel 4’s Taskmaster. They’ll be joined by Stewart Lee, Marcus Brigstocke, Alexandra Haddow and Elliot Steel for an evening of comedy in support of orangutans.

A group of orangutans is called a buffoonery. We couldn’t resist.

A night out that does some good

The Buffoonery is our annual comedy fundraiser for the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS).

Every ticket helps us work with conservation partners and communities in Indonesia to protect orangutans, forests and biodiversity in Sumatra.

These forests are home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. Protecting them means giving orangutans space to thrive, while helping protect the many other species that share their forest home.

So come for the comedy. Bring your friends. Have a brilliant night.

And leave knowing your ticket has helped protect something extraordinary.
