Have you got your tickets for the "Unapologetic. Hilarious. Unmissable" show: Comedy without Barriers with John Smith, yet, taking place on the first night of NDF26?

Don't worry if you can't make The John Smith Show , though, as the brilliant John Smith is the host of Norfolk Deaf Festival 2026, so he'll welcome visitors to both days of the festival.

Links to tickets for the comedy evening and the full NDF26 programme in our profile.

⚠️ Please be aware of scammers pretending to be event organisers in the comments of our posts and events.

These fake accounts often claim to be taking bookings or selling stalls. If you spot one, please report it and avoid engaging with them.

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't make it easy for organisers to stop these comments. Settings often need to be changed individually on every post and event, and even then it's difficult to keep on top of them all.

To make sure you're speaking to the real team, always look for our official Local Makers Market logo. If you're ever unsure, please send us a direct message or contact us via our official email address: [email protected].

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe.
