LSFF: Funny Shit (2026)

LSFF’s annual comedy bonanza returns with a riotous mix of the ridiculous, the relatable, and the downright unhinged.

Featuring an investigation into the unmasking of a schoolyard snitch; the desperate bid for a second date; the obsessive reclamation of a beloved sweater; a woman on the brink of a disastrous haircut; sociopathically ambitious filmmakers dumping their deadweight boyfriends - and a man who really, really hates Jack Grealish.

With the latest work from Joe Lycett, Funny Shit serves up laughs for every predilection, from bone-dry to the gloriously asinine.
