Reading and Leeds are havin' a laugh

the comedy & cabaret line-up

By Neil Greenway | Published:


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.

The confirmed music line-ups for both festivals include the headliners of Pixies, Foo Fighters, and Iron Maiden, along with The Killers, Kings of Leon, Marilyn Manson, Queens of the Stone Age, Razorlight, Incubus, and many more. For the full confirmed line-ups to date, click for Reading or Leeds.

Reading and Leeds festivals both take place from Friday 26th until Sunday 28th August, with Reading festival at Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, and Leeds festival at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.
