Leicester Comedy Festival presents the best in stand-up from some of the UK's finest chuckle-meisters at the eFestivals Comedy Tent located in The Village.

Providing a comedic treat for the fourth successive year, the Comedy Tent will feature top name headliners including 2007 if.comedy award winner BRENDON BURNS ("One of the most exciting comics in the UK" Time Out) musical tomfoolery from ROB DEERING ("Ingenious and hilarious" The Guardian), plus the finest in cerebral comedy from ROBIN INCE and political animal ANDY ZALTZMAN.

The year's packed programme includes a whole host of hilarious emerging talent as well including Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show Winner Al Pitcher, the UK’s only deaf comedian Steve Day along with Dan Nightingale, Markus Birdman, Hal Cruttenden and Frankie Boyle’s support act, Martin 'Bigpig' Mor, all designed to provide laughter throughout the weekend.

Any chance of getting Michael MacIntyre on the bill? I realise that he's a bit expensive these days but humanity will thank you if you put him in the same venue as me.

Any chance of adding Miles Hunt to the comedy line up...I thought he was infinitely more amusing last night than virtually anyone currently plodding round the stand-up circuit.

i interviewed him a while ago and asked if he'd consider stand up, he said no. But you're right he's a great raconteur.

So the star of his own Saturday night BBC1 show, and a singer who has never done stand up.

Thanks for those suggestions.

I like Adam Bloom if that helps...

Michael McIntyre. He laughs at his own jokes, so you don't have to.

Glad to see that 'Slinky' the shite comedian is not due on the bill. The poor bloke is on the edge of cracking up, not to mention being pisspoor at comedy.
