This festival aims to bring big comedian acts to a local community that may not be able to afford such entertainment otherwise. The headline acts include Ed Byrne, Stephen K Amos, Alistair McGowan, Ardal O'Hanlon, and Emo Phillips. It is funded by sponsors like Jazz fm, the mayor of London, Arts Council England, and a local newspaper. The target audience is adults aged 25 and older, as the comedy may contain strong language and inappropriate subjects for younger people.
