This is the line-up for Harrogate Comedy Festival 2024 packed with stars and legends
The line-up has been unveiled for the 15th Harrogate Comedy Festival with hot stand-ups, comic legends and chart-topping podcasters.
Among the big names appearing at Harrogate Theatre's annual feast of comedy in September and October are Lucy Beaumont, Clinton Baptiste, Jimmy Carr and Andy Parsons.
There's also comedy royalty in the form of veteran performers Jimmy Tarbuck, Robert Lindsay and Su Pollard.
Plus Harrogate's very own comedy sensation Maisie Adam is making a welcome return.
A spokesperson for Harrogate Theatre said: “From household names to rising stars, this year's festival promises an exceptional array of performances guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.
"Get ready to laugh out loud and join us for the festival that celebrate funny.”
