One of the biggest and best comedy festivals anywhere in the world, this annual event is something of a rites of passage for many comedians. Each year over 2,000 performers take to the stage to the delight (or disgust) of the 300,000 people who attend the festival. Featuring the very best in traditional stand-up, cabaret theatre, visual art and performance art, this is a great festival with performances that are guaranteed (almost) to have you rolling in the aisles.
