[Petewasbristol]

Would love Bill Bailey to play again, he was superb during his secret shows at glasto in 2007.

Get him back!!!

Failing that, get Dave Gorman

[Filthy]

Oh and Tim Minchin

[vans]

Demetri Martin

Stewart Lee

Dylan Moran

[bertieb73]

I'd love to see Ross Noble, Lee Mack and Ed Byrne there.....

I really miss a comedy tent at a festival if there isn't one, great way to break up the day, sit down, relax with a drink and have a good chuckle.

[Curtains1]

Russel Howard too much to ask for?

Flight of the Conchords and i need no one more!

[grumpyhack]

Mark Steel and Bill Bailey

[bombfrog]

Mitch Benn

Bill Bailey

Jim Jeffries

Eddie Izzard

Simon Evans

Jimmy Carr

Tim Vine

Mark Steel

Frankie Boyle

Stephen K Amos

Russell Brand.

Not a chance of seeig most of them at Glasto, but would be nice.

Which raises an interesting point, presumably the budget to book the acts in the cabaret/circus is much less than the budget for the music stages, which makes it unlikely we'd ever see a really big act unless they were a big fan of the festival like Bill Bailey?

[Filthy]

they played in 2004, were very funny.

i'd love to see demetri martin, he's a very clever comedian.

[joshwarrr]

Tim minchin would go down a storm,

Bill Bailey would be immense.

I would also like to see Paul Merton, he did an improv thing in 2005 which was hilarious

[jollynolly]

Trevor and Simon

[Wiggum]

I'd love Russell Brand. I think most of the stick he gets is from people who've never really watched him. Saw him in Glasgow last week and he was brilliant.

[Curtains1]

I think Russel Brand is a bit much for me, i believe he thinks hes a bit fresh original and exciting when really hes just quite annoying

[Aphex's twin]

Daniel Kitson. No chance of it happening though.

[hazey_jane]

Trevor and Simon sometimes go as punters but I'd love to see them up on stage again. I was lucky to catch them twice in the early 90s and they were very funny indeed

Saw Mitch Benn last year too- he was good.

I'd like to see Jeremy Hardy there again, and Mark Thomas.

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

John Cooper Clarke.

[Straight Through]

i'd love bill bailey, saw him at the end of his tinsleworm tour a few months ago and i was in physical pain from laughing so hard, his kraftwerk version of hallelujah was killer

also

mitch benn

milton jones

[pezzypops]

Totally agree, unique style, his flipchart stuff is so good

[Josie's Cat]

yes to Ed Byrne, Dylan Moran, Stewart Lee and Russell Brand! I don't really know most of the others, always willing to give them a go though, I love stand up!

Gonna nominate Alan Carr, having watched his 'Tooth Fairy' set a couple of nights ago, really funny.

His Live at the Apollo is funny too, I just like him.
