Barber Brawl Championships 2026

After our last show in 2004, we’re officially opening the floodgates once again. Barber Brawl 2026 is back, bigger, sharper, and unapologetically bold.

This event will bring together the coldest, sharpest, and most fearless barbers in London, all stepping on stage to battle for the 2026 Barber Brawl Championship Belt. This is not just a competition — it’s a statement moment for the culture.

Hosted by Master Motivational Barber and Founder, Patrick Phipps and Singer, songwriter, entreprenuer, Crytxl King!

What to expect on the night:

• Live performances from London poets, singers and rappers
• A 2 heat live competition with 8 elite barbers
• 6 profressional judges
• Delicious food on sale
• Vendors
• Good music and greater vibes
• Network and mingling
• Raffle to end the night

This year, we’re building the shortlist early. Talent is being scouted now, and anyone can earn their place if their work is undeniable. The anticipation, visibility, and engagement around Barber Brawl 2026 will be unmatched.
