The lineup also includes Britain's best beloved JACK DEE, legend of The Celebrity Traitors, Taskmaster and Ted Lasso Nick Mohammed, stand up wonder SARA PASCOE, fearless Taskmaster icon FERN BRADY and Spent star MICHELLE DE SWARTE plus huge national treasures Stewart Lee and CHRIS MCCAUSLAND, and queen of ventriloquism NINA CONTI are among the headline name-drops for this year.
The lineup continues with BAFTA nominee ROSE MATAFEO, stand-up marvel SARAH KEYWORTH, fiercely funny JEN BRISTER, Plebs and Friday Night Dinner star Tom Rosenthal, bumbling charmster IVO GRAHAM, Welsh podcast hero ELIS JAMES, Last One Laughing's HARRIET KEMSLEY plus podcast hero JOHN ROBINS all taking a place on this mammoth bill.
The festival also boasts a compendium of breakthrough stars not-to-be-missed, such as viral sensation VITTORIO ANGELONE, fast-rising talents KIRAN SAGGU and JEN NOLAN, BBC New Comedy Award finalist EVALDAS KAROSAS, and so many more to discover!
Each show presents a compilation of the absolute best stand-up, paired with all your favourite bevs at the bars plus the leading lights of Manchester's street-food scene - making this five-night festival a highlight in the city calendar.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2022 with a series of sell-out shows starring James Acaster, Aisling Bea, Josh Widdicombe and many more, this crowd-pleasing festival welcomes over 10,000 comedy-lovers each year from Manchester and beyond.
