Scotdy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Micky Flanagan would be good shout. I would like to see Rhod Gilbert at Glastonbury. Jim Davidson.. Um.. No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Love the cabaret tent. Spent loads of time chilling out there this year. Connolly would be immense.. Gilbert too. Going to see Ross Noble on Friday, he's friggen ace. So would love him there. Andrew O'Neill, Bob Mills, Craig Campbell, Gary Delaney. Any of them would please me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma girl Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Katherine Ryan, Danny Bhoy and Tony Law are my favourites just now, no idea what sort of billing they'd get at Glastonbury though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Ryan was on in 2013, think in the day, in fact she may have played a couple of times, I wasn't there, but saw her on the listings. Saw her at glee Bham a couple of years ago and she was ace. Barbara Nice would be great for a day slot, great fun she is. Loads of good acts about, looking forward to seeing who they get on.

billum Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Always make space for the Jeremy Hardy and John Otway appearances, never fail to hit the mark. Also love to see Reginald D Hunter, Rhod Gilbert would be brill, maybe Lee Mack (maybe I'm far too mainstream too). I also note that John Shuttleworth is touring end of this year - he'd go down a storm, maybe there's just a chance...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Carl Donnelly & Chris Martin would be great Edit: bring back... Edited October 29, 2014 by Couchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSideofthePillow Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Frankie Boyle too controversial methinks Peter Kay more my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Love The Cabaret Tent. I probably plan to see more acts there most years than on the music stages. Mark Steel had me in bits last year with just general wingeing about shit things in general. Particularly about how advertisers advertise to people over 50. "I was fucking 21 when Hip Hop was invented FFS. I don't want to go on a ballroom dancing cruise...". I'd like to see Reg D Hunter, Stuart Lee (always wonderful), rather have Phil Kay than Peter. He improved the hell out of the set I saw last year when he let his kids get up on stage with him. Totally unique. Frankie Boyle oh yes. His books are great. I'd really like to see Tim Minchin do a Bill Bailey and do a set on a biggish stage after the headliners on Sunday have finished. I'm not sure if Jim Davidson is Glastonbury material. If he did a set that convinced me otherwise then I would probably die of either shock or awe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuddy09 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Phil Jupitus was great in 2013.I would happily watch him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Tim Vine would be great, would love to see him do a slot. Richard Herring would be fun too. There's no reason why Bill Bailey couldn't do his 'show' at the tent - they might need a couple of large TV's but I've seen him do his thing on just a small stage and it still worked.

The_Amazing_Oblong Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wandered in a few years ago and stumbled upon Phil Jupitus/Stephen Frost/John Sessions and I think Mike McShane doing some improvisational sketches and ended up staying for the entire gig as we were in stitches all the way through. So yeah, any kind of improv comedy. In fact just do whose line its it anyway and I'd be happy. (Although I wouldn't be gutted if Tony Slattery wasn't involved) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffie Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'd absolutely love to se Frankie Boyle - love a bit of controversy - especially after his spat with Nigel Farridge (spelt this way specifically for UK pronunciation!)

ICGenie Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I do sometimes feel the comedy offering is a bit samey, year after year. I'm surprised they don't go for more big names but then they are generally quite small venues so I can undestand that. My current favourites who I'd love to see: Dave Gorman (off to see him tomorrow funnily enough) Nina Conti Marcel Lucont I'd really appreciate it if they could do something about the soundbleed around that area too. I've seen so many comedians struggling against loud music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although I wouldn't be gutted if Tony Slattery wasn't involved) Watch out for the Stephen Frost Improv Allstars, last couple of years at the Astrolabe - great improv along those lines (but don't think Tony Slattery was there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
