The irreverent, unforgettable Art Car Boot Fair is back for 2025, turning to comedy for its latest edition with cutting-edge contemporary art, cheeky humour and live comic performance. The Art Car Boot Fair presents Comedy & the Comic! taking place on 20 September at King’s Cross.
The Art Car Boot Fair is where high art meets the high street, with internationally beloved artists selling directly from the boots of their cars. It’s a riotous mix of art, performance, and playful encounters, served up with a sense of humour and a healthy dose of anarchy. Past editions have seen the likes of Tracey Emin and Sir Peter Blake pitching up to sell directly to the public.
British comedy legend Vic Reeves, whose art has been shown at Saatchi Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery and been cited as an influence by Damien Hirst, will be bringing his art to the Art Car Boot Fair 2025.
Jealous Gallery will be bringing work by Noel Fielding, including his portraits of Kurt Cobain and a Rolling Thunder era Bob Dylan.
With an Instagram following of over 3 million and recently the subject of a recent Channel 4 documentary, Mr Doodle has gone from a struggling artist selling work for £1 to international sensation selling his art for millions. This year, making his Art Car Boot Fair debut, Mr Doodle will be pitching up in an American school bus completely covered in doodles for a live drawing performance and launching signed copies of his new double picture disc vinyl record which comes with a 50-page book of related artwork.
Other artists appearing in-person include Pam Hogg, the legendary Scottish fashion designer who has created clothes for Debbie Harry, Siouxsie Sioux, Bjork, Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Lady Gaga in her one-of-a-kind five-decade career.
