Fife’s First Comedy Festival from April 1st until April 13th
That’s Fife - Something familiar, something new, and guaranteed to bring you laughter!
You’d be a fool to miss it… introducing the first Fife-wide Comedy Festival kicking off with the king of rapid-fire wit, Rich Hall on April 1st, as well as everyone’s favourite Iranian, Omid Djalili on his first visit to the Kingdom on April 11th.
The comedians continue on 5th April with Jerry Sadowitz although his close-to-the bone brand of comedy is not for the easily offended! There’s plenty of funny business with The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre, The Showstoppers Improvised Musical, Worbey & Farrell and The Confessions of Gordon Brown, amongst others.
There’s a big night of new comics on 10th April, presented by comedy agents, Avalon, with First for Fife, featuring The Office’s Tiffany Stevenson and CBBC’s Iain Stirling. And you can catch an amazing line-up on 12th April, in association with the Gilded Balloon, of home grown funny-men with That’s Fife. This year’s inaugural gala of the best of Scottish Comedy is hosted by Grant Stott along with BBC Radio Scotland’s Fred MacAulay and others. To round up Fife’s first Comedy Festival you can savour a big dollop of romance and love with Hardeep Singh Kohli on April 13th.
Programme Manager for ON with Fife Cultural Trust, Evan Henderson, said:
“I am delighted that for the first Fife Comedy Festival, we have been able to bring to bring together such a great range of well known comedians from film and TV as well as featuring some more quirky comedy nights. Included are new faces to Fife - and others who have long standing connections to the Kingdom. We have created an event that I hope will grow each year and will become a popular fixture in all Fifers' calendars. We will introduce stars of the future,
