friday 5th june

For our swanky opening night, we welcome the supremely talented Sara Pascoe, heading up a stonker of a line-up featuring some the funniest comics on the scene. 

The multi-talented Pascoe needs little introduction as a familiar face across TV, from 8 Out Of 10 Cats to Taskmaster by way of the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee. As a stand up, she’s sold-out major UK tours and somehow manages to squeeze in her work as a much loved author and writer. Phew! 

Support comes from the well-regarded American in London Desiree Burch, the exceedingly funny Felicity Ward and hotly-tipped new comer Ania Magliano, with hosting duties by amazing comedian and writer Gilli Apter.  

It’s our big Friday night opening, so we’re not done there! Ticket holders are all invited to a free after party in the Festival Village directly after the main show until past our bedtimes with the wonderful DJ Josh Lovatt spinning the best pop, disco and party anthems – Friday just got fancy!
