Comedy Tent

[Pierce1991]

The addition on a comedy tent is perhaps one of the best announcements they made last night I think. Anyone know who we can expect for it?

Rufus Hound loves a festival appearance.

He's alright, hopefully they put the comedians on at a decent time. After headliners would be good, unlikely, but good

Probs be like Alan Carr or something

[Dirty Boots]

Take a look at the kind of comedy acts that appear at Reading/Leeds. That's what to expect.

Looking at the (inevitably) Bland music line-up I'd expect the "comedy" tent to follow suit.

Do not expect to see the likes of Sean Lock, Tim Minchin, Rich Hall, Stewart Lee etc...

DO expect to see the likes of Russel Howard, Russ Kane, Jack Whitehall, Josie Long and probably Simon Bird from the highly popular but incredibly shit, The Inbetweeners comparing .

I'll be amazed if its any good (mind you I have grown pubes so I am probably too old for all this modern shit these days).

rufus hound is a no go, asked him on twitter last night and he said that he hadnt been approachhed about doing it. also said that because it was in august it would be highly unlikely he could do it. think his missus is pregnant so possibly due in august

[Lolsta]

Jim Davidson, Chubby Brown, Jethro, Stan Boardman plus Cannon & Ball.

Special guest appearance by Jimmy Cricket.

If its anything like the comedy/caberet line up at Glastonbury it should be a good addition to the festival.

The comedy tent at Glasto has a mixture of caberet acts and comedians like Marcus Brigstock, Ed Burn, Arthur Smith and Brendon Burns who seem to tour the country and do a lot of festivals. From the caberet world there are loads of entertainers, escapeologists etc Would love it if Woody Bop Muddy's Record Grave Yard and Village Disco guys are there

If it is like the one R/L have then it will be great, but I doubt it will be.
