What's On in Liverpool
Tuesday 11 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Tuesday in Liverpool proves that midweek is no reason to stay home, with the city serving up live music and a double helping of comedy to shake off any August sluggishness. From an intimate kiosk stage to the storied rooms of the Shipping Forecast, tonight feels like one of those evenings where you stumble into something genuinely brilliant and tell everyone about it for weeks. Grab your jacket and head out — the city is waiting.
Highlights
Sisters Making Waves — Kicking off at 7:00pm at the brilliantly characterful Hobo Kiosk, Sisters Making Waves promises the kind of live music set that feels personal and powerful in equal measure. There is something magnetic about catching a band in a compact, no-nonsense venue where the sound fills every corner and the crowd is close enough to feel the energy crackle. At just £10, this is an absolute steal for a Tuesday night out.
Shipwrecked Comedy Open Mic — Head down to The Hold at the Shipping Forecast from 7:00pm for an open mic night where anything could happen — and that unpredictability is precisely the point. Open mic comedy is raw, daring, and often laugh-out-loud surprising, with fresh voices stepping up alongside seasoned regulars to test material and win over the room. Check the website for ticket details, but do not let that stop you from making this your spontaneous Tuesday adventure.
Shipwrecked Comedy — Just fifteen minutes later and one room across at the iconic Shipping Forecast, Shipwrecked Comedy's main event gets under way at 7:15pm with a curated lineup that delivers proper, polished stand-up for only £5. The Shipping Forecast is one of those venues that always seems to have the right atmosphere — a little worn at the edges, full of warmth and good taste — and comedy nights here tend to feel like an insider secret. Treat yourself to a cheap, cheerful, and very funny Tuesday evening.
