The comedy stage has become a regular fixture on the musical festival circuit. The Reading and Leeds festivals might be best known for their rock acts but this year their comedy stage is stronger than ever. The attractions include US star of C4’s Catastrophe Rob Delaney, Seann Walsh, one-liner king Milton Jones and motormouth Russell Kane
A while ago a festival was criticised for not featuring any female comedians at all. No issues here. Reading and Leeds include some of the most exciting female acts in comedy, such as Katherine Ryan, Sara Pascoe, Holly Walsh, Luisa Omielan and Tiffany Stevenson.
Oh, and by the way, the music line-up is pretty tidy too. The headliners are Mumford & Sons, Metallica and The Libertines.
And now the really good news. Beyond the Joke has a pair of tickets to give away for one of the festivals, which take place from August 28 - 30. To be in with a chance of winning just sign up to the Beyond The Joke Newsletter on the right-hand side of the home page by midnight on Sunday, August 9.
