suit everyone’s tastes.
There’s plenty of family entertainment
too, with kids’ shows and activities taking place at the weekends.
Jesterval programming director and
comedian David Hadingham said: “With each year we find ourselves putting
together a programme of comedy events that just gets better and better. While
it’s great to get big name TV acts, we’re also proud to be able to put on 10
days of comedy that we know is fantastic quality and that comedy fans will
enjoy and remember.”
