Brand new comedy festival to take over Battersea Park this summer

Leading the line-up for Battersea Park Comedy Festival are Joe Lycett, Sara Pascoe, Simon Amstell, Lucy Beaumont and Simon Brodkin, joined by a curated supporting bill of standout comics from across the UK circuit and beyond, including Grace Campbell, Schalk Bezuidenhout and Abi Clarke. Each individual show will see the headline act joined by a bill of supporting comedians all brought together by a host, providing a varied range of hilarious stand-up bills across the weekend, with something for everyone to enjoy.

Set in one of London’s most iconic green spaces, the three-day event pairs comedy with a relaxed, open-air atmosphere. Come for the comedy, stay for the garden. The open-air Festival Garden is where street food, craft beers and cocktails take centre stage, flowing all weekend long before, during and after the laughs.

Alongside the on-stage lineup, the festival will deliver an educational outreach programme in select Wandsworth schools, using comedy to encourage young people to build confidence and develop public speaking skills through interactive workshops.

A limited number of discounted tickets will also be available via Wandsworth Council's Access for All scheme. The scheme helps to ensure everyone in Wandsworth has an equal chance to access local opportunities, with discounts and oBers available for eligible residents on sports and leisure, education, events and other essential services.
