Jamesthedrake Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was delighted to see some great comedians on this years line-up, with Nish Kumar, Josie Long, Doc Brown, Kerry Godliman, Reggie Watts, Rosie Jones and Phil Wang all on the bill. I've always been determined to spend more time round the theatre side of the fest - does anyone else have any must-sees or interesting tidbits that's worth checking out?

I'm going to guess because there's no times listed with Cabaret line-up... just a potential running order.

Homer Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Stephen Frost Impro Allstars in the Astrolabe. I go pretty much every year. It's Whose line Is It Anyway? essentially... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the Astrolabe has no listings for the Sat and Sun! They always do the same time (roughly) on the Sat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
found home in 2009 Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 From the Cabaret tent, Dr John Cooper Clarke (punk poet). I've always wanted to see him so delighted he's on the line up. Previously had a brilliant time at the Cuban Brothers when they played the cabaret tent and they are playing Glade this year. Will probably go see them again.

I saw him in October/November and he had been working on a new set, so he does have some new material now, although there was still some rehashing of his older few sets.

Smeble Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Saw the Elvis dead at latitude last year and it’s hilarious if you are a fan of the evil dead. It’s basically the evil dead done to the music of elvis, it’s worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I saw it in a tiny room in Edinburgh and it was great......dunno how it'll work in a barn like the cabaret tent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 If you see only one act in the T&C area all weekend, make sure it is Paul Currie. A true comedy God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Phil Wang is great, but like most touring comedians, his festival set is very much a ‘greatest hits’ thing. I’d see him again, always enjoyable Conversely, every time I’ve seen John Cooper Clarke, I’ve been really disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I will make sure I catch one of their shows Camped next to Phil Wang in 2017, had not realised until he was packing up. Got to tell him I enjoyed his set, didn't tell him about his night time habits I am off to Edinburgh Festival this year so might miss a few acts in favour of something else at the Glastonbury this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
