There’s a Scots bloke at the front of the stage

to hear my poems and ditties

but he’s pissed as fuck and off his head

and I can see his titties

Were High Soceity there in 2029? High ropes team with 1 much older guy as a member (probably in his 70s now). 

Was hoping to see them on this, even if the one guy had retired

I'm pretty sure they were, they were the only act I saw in the circus tent!

[AshwaGandhi]

I can highly recommend The Black Eagles. I've come across them multiple times in a hungover state whilst sheilding from the sun and can honestly say their awesome acrobatic show helped me out each time!

Lots of the usual suspects with some interesting names in there (Dom Joly!) 

Cirque du Vulgar are an interesting choice, given the mostly family-friendly ethos of the field. I mean I know sex appeal / titillation is part of many cabaret circus acts including those that have played Glasto like Soiree, but it's an interesting choice to go with a group that make that their selling point.

He shows his holiday photos and talks about them (I'm not even joking - I assume it's done in a funny way!)

Oh dear.

Albeit possibly still better then David Baddiel doing the same thing with some tweets.

I was getting a coffee on the Sunday afternoon in 2014 in the T&C field after a rather heavy one the night before I wasn't quite with it and turned round to get some sugar and walked into the pole holding the tent up and knocked the coffee all over my hand scalding it so badly I had to go to the medical tent.....Josh Widdicombe was stood behind me in the queue and just started laughing at me!

Because he is an utter w*nker.

Yes - but we can gloss over that as he's a once in a generation comic talent.

?? Really??  Wow. I would rather watch Stewart Lee literally saying nothing than Josh giving it his best. Stealing a living

Er....OK then.  Lets see.  Er.  He's better than the shouty newsreader guy....?

[Jay Pee]

Ed Winchester?

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m determined to see at least one, preferably Pam Ayres, I’m ok sacrificing some music for other experiences

Crowdsurfing as the Pamster recites The Battery Hen.

Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan?

[John the Moth]

Ooh Marcus du Sautoy. I’ll try to get there for that. His tv shows and books are truly inspiring.

Anyone else in for some high level mathematics…?

Anyone…?

One of my greatest all time glasto serendipitous moments involved me stumbling into the circus tent in 2014 and watching “Alien Forms and Raw Humanity’, by Leo & Yam”.

Mind blowing: https://thecircusdiaries.com/2014/07/03/alien-forms-and-raw-humanity-by-leo-yam/

edit to add: sadly they are not on this year’s lineup

Whose generation are we talking about?

[Gnomicide]

I think it's a great line-up, definitely upped things a lot since the last couple of festivals.

If it's any consolation, I was walking through The Park late night one year (it may well have been 2014) and hit a particularly boggy patch of ground.

I managed to get through it unscathed but the poor sod next to me fell in the thick mud. I grabbed his hand and helped him...and as he looked up at me I realised it was Josh Widdicombe.

Reginald D Hunter is a legend. I always remember him saying that when he goes back to the US he has to say the 3rd thing he thinks 😅

Josh Widdecombe is an irritating little c**t. Oh, and his stand-up is fucking rubbish as well!
