The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, children's film and television, and interactive media. Since 1993, selected comedy performances have been awarded with the BAFTA award for Best Comedy Performance at an annual ceremony.
In the following lists, the first titles listed are winners, these are also in bold and in blue background; those not in bold are nominees. The years given are those in which the programmes under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which always takes place the following year.
With the exception of Ricky Gervais, the award has never been won by the same person twice.
