The line-up for the Comedy and Cabaret Stage at Reading and Leeds festivals has been announced.

The stage will be host to some of the biggest names and rising stars in the comedy world, a host of classic cult films and some unique musical collaborations, while at the Leeds site, there's an extra night of fun as Thursday night will have film and live music to get the party started early.

Some of the acts to be seen at both sites over the weekend include comedians Marcus Brigstocke, Ed Byrne, Mitch Benn, Reginald D Hunter, and Alan Carr, the hypnotist Hugh Lennon, and the strange sounding Lemon Jelly Satanic Bingo.
