Caroline Hirsch, the festival’s founder and owner, expressed her enthusiasm: “We’re beyond thrilled to bring the comedy world’s finest – from raw talents in the making to the polished jesters we all revere – from across our nation and beyond to this year’s festival. Just picture it – a melting pot of comedy, stirred to perfection with our hand-picked line-up, which we can’t wait to expand further in the coming months.”
