There will be the usual surprise line up of comedy heavyweights for the Gala opening Night and the ever- popular Best Of The Fest, multi bill line ups on Saturdays. The festival sets out to present the best live comedy of the year and there is no better place in the country to do this than Brighton. The heady air of the seaside combines with some of the world’s funniest people to create a mixture that is unmissable. With over 70 performances across 16 days, the city really will be awash with laughter.
