MCM Comic Con October 2026 - Cosplay Variety Show application

Applications for the Sunday Variety Show open 28th August - 23rd September 2026. Performance proposals must be received by 9am Monday 28th September for review by the panel.

The Variety Show brings together a range of incredible cosplay performances on the Main Stage on Sunday. Places are very limited and are allocated by a selection panel by comparing the merits of all performance applications once the application deadline has passed. 

Please Note: We cannot accommodate full band set ups or items that require mains power as part of the Variety show.

Applications are open to over 16s only.
The maximum group size is 8 people.
Only one entry is permitted per person. If you enter as part of a group you cannot also enter as an individual.
Participation in the Variety Show does not grant free entry to MCM Comic Con - you will need to have a valid ticket to take part.
