Anyone else in for some high level mathematics…? Anyone…? maths ☺️ He's on every year yet in 15 festivals I've not managed to see him despite always intending to. I have his new book, must get to it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. karma. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchilidog Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Steven Frost Improv Allstars are fantastic institution in the T&C Fields and are well worth catching if you are free. The mental gymnastics on show are absolutely fabulous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are usually some fairly big names in the afternoon. I've seen Josh W, Stewart Lee, Robin Ince, Andy Parsons in the afternoon before (and the Impro All-stars are always on on the afternoon on Fri and Sat). I guess it suits them not to clash with the acts they want to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Nothing new. Miss Tarw told her reception teacher the best thing she saw was “Talulah the greatest Canadian whore” in 2004. She was good and the teacher thought it was hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanoL Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Okay - I went through and Googled the acts I didn't know. It's really not a great poster as they're not even grouped by performance type and many of the names aren't obvious. I mean some are but I've included them for completeness anyway, with some commentary: Vou Fiji Dance Theatre are a Fijian dance groupUmami Dance Theatre are a comedy dance duoThe Show Globe is a walkabout act in a massive snow globeRSVP Bhangra are a Bhangra groupNeil Balfour is a classical baritone singerMarcus Du Sautoy is a mathematicianMarcel Lucont is a is a comedian who pretends to be a posh Frenchman and does songsBootworks Theatre do a virtual jukebox act with lip-syncingJyoti Supernatural is a magician/jugglerAdam Hills, Nish Kumar, Kerry Godliman, John Hegley are all comicsEd Petrie is a kids TV presenter but appears to do stand-up now?

Widdicome, Ince, Lee, Kumar are all music fans - my guess is that they do it for the free ticket essentially (hence why they are often on in the afternoon).
