eFestivals can exclusively reveal the comedy line-up for this year's eFestivals' Cosmic Comedy Tent, returning with a brilliant line up of side splitting comics to GuilFest again this year.

around the festival site
The line-up for the tent which is programmed for us by Cosmic Comedy includes animated, high-octane comedy from Simon Bligh on Friday, razor sharp stand-up from Alistair Barrie on Saturday, and the rocked out hippy with a unique take on life Christian Reilly brings his skilled improvisations on Sunday.

Friday's line-up includes Richard Morton, Rich Wilson, Jim Smallman, Bridget Christie, Ola, Bennett Arron, Pierre Hollins, Paul Sinha, and Danny Ward. Saturday's line-up of comedians includes Nick Revell, Earl Okin, Henning Wehn, Keith Donnelly, Chris Martin, Ray Green, Julian Deane, Dan Thomas, and Matt Price Bringing the laughs on Sunday are Edward Aczel, Shazia Mirza, Michael Fabbri, Gordon Southern, Gerry K, and Colin Owens.


As usual the funny stuff starts at 2.30pm and runs through the afternoon until 7pm, followed by the late-night show on Friday and Saturday from 11pm until 1am, allowing comics to 'let loose' with some more 'adult' material! Please note that comedy club performances may not be suitable for under 16's and might contain adult language and content. Also acts are subject to change. Daily line-ups and times will be posted inside the comedy tent.

eFestivals is proud to sponsor the eFestivals Cosmic Comedy Tent at GuilFest, as part of our commitment to put 10% of our turnover as cash directly back into festivals.

They join an eclectic, already announced line-up of Roger Daltrey from The Who, James Blunt, Razorlight, N-Dubz, Adam Ant, Gallows, Erasure, Peter Andre, Public Image Ltd and Ziggy Marley. The line-up will continue to grow over the coming weeks to a massive 200 bands performing across 7 music stages over the 3 days of the festival.

For the full line-up details to-date, please click here.

The line up is still not complete, and there are loads more acts still to be announced on all the stages. GuilFest is not just about the music and throughout the site there are many activities and shows to keep festival goers entertained all weekend.

GuilFest is a great laid-back festival where visitors can enjoy a great weekend taking place from Friday 15th until Sunday 17th July 2011 in Stoke Park, Guildford in Surrey. All over the site are attractions to entertain and amuse throughout the weekend. There's the eFestivals Cosmic Comedy Zone, featuring some of the top comics on the circuit today, the Man In The Moon Theatre tent, The Disco Inferno Zone, Farmer Giles Barndance, and much, much more! Brand new for 2011 is The GuilFest Vintage Fayre, a whole new exciting area featuring fashion, music, dance, tea and scones, jive and jazz and idiosyncrasies from the crazy bygone days of the 40s,50s,60s,70s and 80s.

An adult weekend camping ticket is priced at £120, adult weekend tickets without camping are priced at £110, child (aged 12-15 years old) weekend with camping £70 and child weekend tickets without camping are priced at £60. Children aged under 12 have free entry with a ticket holding adult. A campervan ticket is priced at £60. This year is looking set to be a sellout.
