The line-up has been announced for the Leeds Comedy Festival, which runs from Tuesday, May 30 to Sunday, June 11.

The festival started small in Leeds’ Cultural Quarter four years ago and has gone on to increase capacity year on year with huge and exciting names in the world of stand-up making their way to the city. This year over 50 comedians will be appearing in multiple city centre venues 

Highlights include James Acaster bringing his "trelogy" of shows over three consecutive nights. Sara Pascoe, Andrew Maxwell and John Robins all bring brand new solo shows and ‘Daily Show’ correspondent Gina Yashere plays an exclusive date.

Further acts performing at the festival include Barbara Nice, Adam Kay, Sarah Kendall and a special double bill of award winners, John Kearns (pictured below) and Spencer Jones (pictured top). 

The intimate Mook will play host to a number of excellent comedians including Ellie Taylor, Rhys James, Ed Gamble, Alun Cochrane, Tom Stade and Lucy Porter, who will all be performing previews of their upcoming Edinburgh Fringe show for a bargain price of just £8.
