Reading Comedy Festival
It's time for the fifth Reading Comedy Festival which this year includes performances from comedians including Jimmy Carr, Russell Howard, Jethro and Josaka's Jim Bowes...
From 3 - 19 October around 50 events are lined up for the festival which has grown to be a success story for the town over the last few years.
The Laughter Launch at the Concert Hall kicked things of in style on Thursday with compere AF Harrold introducing taster sets from James Campbell, Chris Cox, Jim Bowes, James Mason and 2008 if.comedy award winner David O'Doherty.
The festival officially begins on Friday 3 October with Danny Bhoy performing his 2008 Edinburgh show.
Jim Bowes (from Josaka) is curating an evening at South Street on Tuesday 14 October with an eclectic selection of comic talent that includes magician/comedian Christian Lee (as seen on Sky 1’s Max Magic and Katie and Peter the next chapter!), former if.comedy nominee Paul Sinha, Martin White (a regular of Robin Ince’s Book Club ), Reading wordsmith AF Harrold and Jim with his first new material in over a year.
The event features some of Jim’s favourite acts from two years performing at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and it promises to be one of the highlights of this year's Reading Comedy Festival.
