Hurrah! The theatre and circus area is always a favourite.

[Untz]

Mik Artiskik is playing?!

Shocking stuff, have the national press been informed?!

 

That said, were are Briefs? 

[MilkyJoe]

To make things easier.

[buddiepaul]

Wonderful.  Seeing some of the clips on the official website brings it all the memories back, and enforces the feeling that its getting close now!!

It's not a comprehensive list - some smaller acts will be added. Remember a lot of acts perform multiple times.

All in all looks good, Pirates of the Carabina should be great, good to see Marcus Brigstocke back. Astrolabe barely looks different to last year

[John the Moth]

Gorgeously designed posters, love 'em!

[Gnomicide]

Good to see Andrew Maxwell back, been brilliant the last few times I've seen him.

His argument with a heckler in a onesie a few years back had me laghing so hard it hurt.

Wooo hoooo - two of the acts that I went to see twice are back and both are astonishing.  Feeding the Fish and Bill Ferguson.

We as a group are a bit sad in that we score all the acts we see out of ten - on the basis of "For what they do, how well do they do it?"  That means that an relatively unknown young folkie might get a 9 while a headlining stadium band might only get a 7 or 8.

Although we score out of ten we usually start off being too generous so end up discovering something exceptional that has to score an 11.

Both Feeding the Fish and Bill were 11s.

Feeding the Fish are an astonishing dance and light show.  Unfortunately the act is hard to capture on film but they are both clever and magical seen live.

Bill Ferguson is a juggler who performs on the Outside Theatre Stage. One of the funniest acts I've ever seen - clever juggling and great stand up comedy.  He gets people to throw objects down to the stage and he has the challenge of juggling six items together that usually will range from a box of matches to a camping chair.  There's a lot more to it, with questions about who gets a custard pie in the face - either him or the dad of one of the kids in the audience (the kid decides).

Can't recommend both acts highly enough.

Thank you,

Jots both down in an ever increasing note pad while awaiting the finished clash Finder!

Glebeland is now open on a Thursday? Hell yeah!!

You could watch 'The "I hate children" children's show' instead.

[CaledonianGonzo]

So many interesting comedians working in the UK at the minute that just never get a look in on the cabaret stage

[pastorofmuppets]

John Cooper Clarke not on the poster... hoping this means he has an earlier slot on another stage (he's definitely been on the Acoustic Stage before, I'd prefer the Park though). Great as he is, I don't ever see myself missing a headliner for him.

Kevin Eldon is brilliant, will definitely try to see him again.

I missed Todd Terje for him last year, had no intentions to but I ended up watching Luke Wright before him and never left the cabaret tent, both were excellent.

Long time lurker on this forum but thought I'd dive in and say how excited I an that Bill Ferguson is back!! I was there for his last ever show. He is a amazing act and bloody hilarious. 

[KernowKrusty]

Will be spending a fair bit of time around these tents for sure. Cracking line up. A lot of the Pyramid fanatics miss a trick over here.
