I've been sent some details about this. It's not technically a comedy festival, but as Terry Jones, Alexei Sayle, Sue Perkins, Dawn French, Tony Robinson, Alan Carr, Richard Curtis, John Lloyd, Frank Skinner, Alistair McGowan, Harry Hill, The News Quiz team and others are amongst those attending there is certainly more than a hint of it there.
Plus, I know some of you write serious stuff too... so here is the details for anyone interested:
"With its signature blend of award winning writers, world-renowned thinkers and international star names The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival is a hotbed of debate and discussion with a unique regency style. In this year's literary line-up Man Booker Prize winners rub shoulders with the finest classically trained actors, whilst top class comedians appear alongside leading political figures. With more than 450 writers and over 350 events this promises to be an exhilarating ten day celebration of the written word".
The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival, 10 - 19 October 2008
