Comedy Tent?

[noalarms]

I have no idea BUT I would love Bo Burnham the youtube star to play somewhere, Russel Howard, frankie boyle?

[flossy_]

alan carrrr

cept he's probably too big..?

[Sparticus]

wont be frankie boyle, he's exclusive for either bestival, or camp bestival? (one of them)

allan carr headlined it in 05 so probably too big. Only reason i can remember that is that i remember missing his set so i could go watch arctic monkeys tear the carling stage a new arsehole

[Lithium05]

Won't be anyone from mock the week, or anyone who are big enough to draw a crowd bigger than the relatively small tent. Chances are you'll have never heard of the headliners.

They do sometimes get name acts. Michael McIntre did it last year and Ed Byrne the year before. Non-name acts are often just as good if not better though. Andrew Lawrence last year was phenominal.

[chubbz]

Arj Barker would make me buy a ticket.

did anyone see adam hills last year the aussie guy, at leeds, he was ace he improvised half his set to include a guy in the crowd who was dressed as santa, he even let the crowd, crowd surf his prosphetic leg

Any chance of Stephen Lynch again? He was amazing!

[fat_man_joe]

Oooh Dave Gorman, that would be well fun!

I wouldn't mind Ross Noble or something but you know, blind hope isn't always the best way to go if you don't like being disappointed.

It would be good if they got Stewart Lee.

[ALLHALLOWS]

He said he wants to do more work in the UK, his new album is out tomorrow so there could be every chance

up to about 2 years ago he said he would never play a show out of America, then he came over to do the comedy store thing and has said he loves the UK more than America!

His impressions at the End of the Leeds set had me in stitches, he was supposed to do half a hour at Leeds and ended up doing 1hour 10min

How about Ross Noble? Seems about right size for a comedy headliner.

Jupitus played from the arguably bigger 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'..

[noalarms]

as a Reading only and it wasn't supposed to be his full stand up set, just a improv set.

Plus i don't think Phil Jupitus is that big a stand up comedian anymore, definitely not on the same level as Dara O'Brian and Russell Howard (both sold out year long tours)

Given Colin Murray's connections with Leeds I'm hoping for a couple of comedians who've done Fighting Talk.

Henning Wehn or Jim Jeffries would be fantastic.

Got to be Brett and Jermaine.

It would wouldnt it. To be honest I would be hoping for a mid afternoon main stage slot for them.
