A pure and unadulterated festival of comedy, featuring great names in local, national and international comedy.
Many of the acts will be previewing their material that they will be showcasing at the Edinburgh Festival in August. Its your chance to see something amazing on your own doorstep, at a fraction of the cost !
There's even something for the children with two amazing children specific shows from Big Howard, Little Howard and Lee Kyle.
The festival will also be serving up some of the finest real ales, lagers, spirits and wines accompanied by cracking fresh food.
It really promises to be a entertainment spectacular and culinary delight.
Laughter Yoga
As part of the Festival of Laughs, we are also running some FREE, yes FREE, introduction sessions in Laughter Yoga.
Based on the principle that 'laughing is good for you', Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise system. It uses laughter and yogic breathing (pranayama) and it provides a range of health benefits. Wherever you go in the world, laughter sounds remarkably similar and this makes it truly inclusive. There are no cultural or linguistic barriers to sharing laughter so do come and join us...give it a go...discover for yourself that 'laughter is the best medicine'.
We expect these places will be snapped up fast and are limited, so reserve yours today at www.ticketsource.co.uk/one77
