The Greenwich Comedy Festival | London’s Biggest Comedy Festival
Unlike FYRE Festival, this is the kind of festival that everyone laughs at in a good way.
Yes, the annual gagfest that is The Greenwich Comedy Festival is rolling its wagon back into town between the 11th and 15th September, parking up outside the faintly jaw-dropping setting of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
This is the festival’s 16th year, but instead of learning to drive a moped and open as many bank accounts as it damn well pleases, it’s celebrating by putting together another line-up of big name comedy acts. Tickets are going fast, but currently there are still tickets for shows with the excellent Phil Wang, Shapparak Khorsandi, Kemah Bob, Ardal O’Hanlon, Jen Brister and dozens of other top acts.
Each of the eight shows (tickets for which cost £26.50) feature one or two major players, who then perform alongside some of the UK’s brightest up and coming talent, meaning that you’ll get the satisfying reward of inevitably discover some new faces, but at very low risk of boredom.
All of these laughs are going to be served up to ticket holders alongside a selection of bars (pushing a decidedly serious selection of drinks – from craft beers and French wine, to botanical gins and margaritas) and a veritable smorgasbord of street food options.
After all, laughter is the best medicine, but food is still the best food.
NOTE: To see the line up and book tickets (£26.50) check out the Greenwich Comedy Festival website.
